Creating an R Function to Search for Numbers in Character Strings
R Function to Search in Character String Problem Statement We are given a dataframe with two columns: NAICS_CD and top_3. The task is to create an R function that searches for the presence of numbers in the NAICS_CD column within the top 3 values specified in the top_3 column. If any number from top_3 is found in NAICS_CD, we want to assign a value of 1 to the is_present column; otherwise, we assign a value of 0.
