Code for converting entire data frame to numeric

Question

Is there an R function to convert the entire data frame to numeric. My data frame contains only numeric variables but when queried with r with the is.numeric code, it comes as false.

Read about `?type.convert`. Also, please share a minimal reproducible example? — markus, Feb 18 '20 at 19:32

With dplyr :
