Hi Allie, When you are working with the ff package, the counterpart of a data.frame is called an ffdf (ff data frame). It can handle the types you are talking about - factor, integer but characters will be stored as factors. So this means that your data types do not have to be of 1 specific type. Good luck in trying out the package.
