Hi, does the rating_codes by using cat.codes always start from 0?
Can we customize? 5-10-15-20… for example?

Hi! I am a bit confused beacuse I finished the “Variable Types” lesson as part of the data scientist career path but at no point did it show a .cat.codes exercise. But it did evaluate it at the review section. Is there a way for me to access it?
