Exercise instructions

  • Extract the nrc dictionary, count the sentiments and reorder them by count to create a new factor column, sentiment2.
  • Visualize sentiment_counts using the new sentiment factor column.
  • Change the title to "Sentiment Counts in NRC", x-axis to "Sentiment", and y-axis to "Counts".
