String to integer

Now you'll use the .cast() method you learned in the previous exercise to convert all the appropriate columns from your DataFrame model_data to integers!

To convert the type of a column using the .cast() method, you can write code like this:

dataframe = dataframe.withColumn("col", dataframe.col.cast("new_type"))
