as_fips_code(c("DC", "Md", "va"))
as_state_abbreviation(c("district of columbia", "Maryland", "VIRGINIA"))

# Note that `3` and `7` are standardized to `NA`,
# because no state is assigned those FIPS codes
as_fips_code(1:10)
as_state_abbreviation(1:10)

# You can even mix methods in the same vector
