I came across this piece of code
...
temp <- as.data.frame(aggregate(Petal.Width~Species, iris, mean))
...
My question is: aggregate(Petal.Width~Species, iris, mean) was already a dataframe, what was the need for as.data.frame() then?

Thanks @jay.sf. How could you find such a relevant example like that? – Nemo Mar 28 '23 at 11:46
