I have the following dataframe

edge    Phone   new buy
 0        0      0   1
 0        0      0   1
 0        0      0   1
 0        0      0   1

I wish to replace the ones with "yes" and Two's's with No. I have tried the following

  DF[,1:4][DF[,1:4]==0]<-'NO'

That does not work.

additionally to answers in the duplicate link you can do : `DF$buy – moodymudskipper Sep 20 '17 at 09:14
for all columns : `sapply(DF,function(x) c('no','yes') [x + 1])` – moodymudskipper Sep 20 '17 at 09:16
@Moody_Mudskipper you should add that as an answer to the dupe target! – Sotos Sep 20 '17 at 09:38
Alternatively - and potentially more flexible if you have more than 2 options - you can use the `merge()` function. Store the new column in another data frame `moreinfo – Paul Rougieux Sep 20 '17 at 09:49
@Sotos I can't because the dupe is proposing the reverse transformation (yes/no to 0/1), my solution doesn't really suit it. Maybe you could reopen this one. – moodymudskipper Sep 20 '17 at 11:30
oops...@Moody_Mudskipper I added the correct dupe. You can add it there – Sotos Sep 20 '17 at 11:32
