[R] creating a new variable and merging it on the dataframe

[Admire Tarisirayi Chirume]

Good day colleagues. Below is a csv file attached which i am using in my
analysis.

So I created a df using the above csv file as follows

wbpractice <- read.csv("world_practice.csv")

Now, I wanted to create a new variable called gap and scripted and executed
the following command :

wbpractice %>%

mutate(gap = total.food.exp-total.nfood.exp)  #gen a variable



By recalling  wbpractice, I could not see the new variable created. Running
the command;

names(wbpractice)



shows the old variables only. Any help on how to append the newly created
variable on my data?
