convert variable from int to float in R

  x_int <- 5
  x_float <- as.numeric(x_int)

This code snippet shows how to convert a variable of type integer (x_int) to a variable of type float (x_float) in R. The first line creates the integer variable x_int with a value of 5. The second line creates the float variable x_float using the as.numeric() function. This function attempts to coerce a data value into a numeric data type, and in this case, it is converting the integer x_int into a float x_float. x_float now holds the same value as x_int (5), but with a more precise data type.
