NOTE: This is a toy package created for expository purposes, for the second edition of R Packages. It is not meant to actually be useful. If you want a package for factor handling, please see forcats.

Binding two factors via fbind()
:
library(foofactors)
a <- factor(c("character", "hits", "your", "eyeballs"))
b <- factor(c("but", "integer", "where it", "counts"))

c(a, b)
#> [1] 1 3 4 2 1 3 4 2
The fbind()
function glues two factors together and returns factor.
fbind(a, b)
#> [1] character hits your eyeballs but integer
#> [7] where it counts
#> 8 Levels: but character counts eyeballs hits ... your
