Manipulating columns in a PySpark dataframe

The dataframe is almost complete; however, there is one issue that requires addressing before building the neural network. Rather than keeping the gender value as a string, it is better to convert the value to a numeric integer for calculation purposes, which will become more evident as this chapter progresses.

Getting ready

This section will require importing the following:

from pyspark.sql import functions

How to do it...

This section walks through the steps for the string conversion to a numeric value...
