Example 2:

# R program to modify data of an object

# Creating a data frame
df = data.frame(
  "Name" = c("abc", "def", "ghi"),
  "Language" = c("R", "Python", "Java"),
  "Age" = c(22, 25, 45)
)
df

# Calling with() function
with(df, {df$Age <- df$Age + 10; print(df$Age)})

Output:

  Name Language Age
