Exercise

Binding and counting posts with tags

The tables you created in the previous exercise have been preloaded as questions_with_tags and answers_with_tags. First, you'll want to combine these tables into a single table called posts_with_tags. Once the information is consolidated into a single table, you can add more information by creating a date variable using the lubridate package, which has been preloaded for you. 

questions_with_tags <- questions %>%
  inner_join(question_tags, by = c("id" = "question_id")) %>%
  inner_join(tags, by = c("tag_id" = "id"))

answers_with_tags <- answers %>%
  inner_join(question_tags, by = "question_id") %>%
  inner_join(tags, by = c("tag_id" = "id"))
