Converting entire column to time












0















I have following dataframe which has 3 columns (id, startTime, endTime). I want to convert startTime column to time and create a new column.



  id           startTime             endTime      
1 1 2018/10/01 10:00:00 2018/10/01 10:00:06
2 2 2018/10/01 10:00:01 2018/10/01 10:00:07
3 3 2018/10/01 10:00:02 2018/10/01 10:00:08
4 4 2018/10/01 10:00:03 2018/10/01 10:00:09
5 5 2018/10/01 10:00:04 2018/10/01 10:00:10
6 6 2018/10/01 10:00:05 2018/10/01 10:00:11


I tried



df$ST <- as.POSIXct(df["startTime"]) 


and I got following error.



Error in as.POSIXct.default(df["startTime"]) : 
do not know how to convert 'df["startTime"]' to class “POSIXct”


and then tried



df$ST <- as.Date.POSIXct(df["startTime"]) 


and got following error.



Error in unclass(x)/86400 : non-numeric argument to binary operator


How can I do this?

    Common error, solution: as.POSIXct(df[["startTime"]]). Or as.POSIXct(df[, "startTime"]). To know why see what are class(df["startTime"]) and class(df[["startTime"]]).
