How would I add a new categorical column to this data based on the values in the 1st column in R? Like this:
> head(df)
common_name
1 Sailfin molly
2 Hardhead silverside
3 Blue crab
if common_name = "Sailfin molly", "Hardhead silverside", put "Fish" else, put "Crab"
> head(df)
common_name category
1 Sailfin molly Fish
2 Hardhead silverside Fish
3 Blue crab Crab

df <- mutate(df, cat = ifelse(grepl("Sailfin molly", common_name), "Fish",
ifelse(grepl("Hardhead silverside", common_name), "Fish", "Crab")))
