 The example below shows the same data organized in three different ways.
 Each dataset shows the same values of four variables: *country*, *year*, *population*, and number of documented *cases* of TB (tuberculosis), but each dataset organizes the values in a different way.

 They are followed by 56 columns like `sp_m_014`, `ep_m_4554`, and `rel_m_3544`.
 If you stare at these columns for long enough, you'll notice there's a pattern.
 Each column name is made up of three pieces separated by `_`.
-The first piece, `sp`/`rel`/`ep`, describes the method used for the diagnosis, the second piece, `m`/`f` is the `gender` (coded as a binary variable in this dataset), and the third piece, `014`/`1524`/`2534`/`3544`/`4554`/`5564/``65` is the `age` range (`014` represents 0-14, for example).

 So in this case we have six pieces of information recorded in `who2`: the country and the year (already columns); the method of diagnosis, the gender category, and the age range category (contained in the other column names); and the count of patients in that category (cell values).
 To organize these six pieces of information in six separate columns, we use `pivot_longer()` with a vector of column names for `names_to` and instructors for splitting the original variable names into pieces for `names_sep` as well as a column name for `values_to`:
