- Levels are sorted by default
but sort order is **locale-dependent** at creation time.

- `c()` on factors unions level sets (since R 4.1.0)
but earlier versions converted to integer.

- Only `==` and `!=` work between factors; factors must have identical level sets. Ordered factors support `<`
`>`.

- Duplicate column names allowed only with `check.names = FALSE`
but many operations will de-dup them silently.

- `as.numeric(f)` returns **integer codes**
not original values. Use `as.numeric(levels(f))[f]` or `as.numeric(as.character(f))`.

- `duplicated` marks the **second and later** occurrences as TRUE
not the first. Use `fromLast = TRUE` to reverse.

- Atomic vectors recycle to match longest column
but only if exact multiple. Protect with `I()` to prevent conversion.

- `cbind(NULL)` returns `NULL` (not a matrix). For consistency
`rbind(NULL)` also returns `NULL`.

Data
PromptBeginner5 minmarkdown
- `rbind` on data frames matches columns **by name**
not position. Missing columns get `NA`.

- Result is always an **array** (even 1D)
class table. Convert to data frame with `as.data.frame(tbl)`.

Data

- `cbind` on data frames calls `data.frame(...)`
not `cbind.matrix`. Mixing matrices and data frames can give unexpected results.

- Supports formula syntax: `split(df

- If `f` is a list of factors
interaction is used; levels containing `.` can cause unexpected splits unless `sep` is changed.

- `...` args to FUN are **not** divided into cells — they apply globally
so FUN should not expect additional args with same length as X.

- `by = 0` or `by = row.names` merges on row names
adding a Row.names column.

Data

- Default `by` is `intersect(names(x)
names(y))` — can silently merge on unintended columns if data frames share column names.

- Returns an **array** (not a data frame). Class info on return values is **discarded** (e.g.
Date objects become numeric).

- On a **data frame**
`apply` coerces to matrix via `as.matrix` first — mixed types become character.
