Use factor -- puhleeze read the Help file therefor:

factor(x = character(), levels, labels = levels,
       exclude = NA, ordered = is.ordered(x))

either an optional vector of labels for the levels (in the same order
as levels after removing those in exclude), or a character string of
length 1.

"Men by nature long to get on to the ultimate truths, and will often
be impatient with elementary studies or fight shy of them. If it were
possible to reach the ultimate truths without the elementary studies
usually prefixed to them, these would not be preparatory studies but
superfluous diversions."

-- Maimonides (1135-1204)
