Converting numeric into factor variables in R Studio (includes adding labels to factor levels)

This video demonstrates how to convert numeric into factor variables. I begin by creating a small data frame in R Studio. From there, I walk through steps for converting numeric variables into factor variables, and also how to add value labels that will show up in your output.

When you apply the factor function over genderid, and then you use the str function, you can see that R shows "1"s and "2"s...That is confusing, because those ones and twos are neither levels nor labels!!!!
