This function aligns the classes of variables in `old_df` with those of their corresponding variables in `new_df`. For each column name shared across both data frames, the function detects the class in `new_df` and coerces the matching column in `old_df` to the same class. Supported conversions include `character`, `numeric`, `integer`, `logical`, `factor`, and `Date`. Any variable whose class is not explicitly handled is left unchanged.
get_same_class(old_df, new_df)A modified version of `old_df` in which all shared columns are coerced to match the variable classes of `new_df`.
A data frame containing the preceding version of the data, used as the reference for comparison.
A data frame containing the most recent version of the data.
