*A data frame is a list of vectors that R displays as a table. When your data is tidy, the values of each variable fall in their own column vector.*
As a result, you can extract the all of the values of a variable in a tidy data set by extracting the column vector that contains the variable. You can do this easily with R's list syntax, i.e.

In `table2`, the `key` column contains only keys (and not just because the column is labelled `key`). Conveniently, the `value` column contains the values associated with those keys.

You can use the `spread()` function to tidy this layout.

*`spread()` distributes a pair of key:value columns into a field of cells. The unique keys in the key column become the column names of the field of cells.*
You can see that `spread()` maintains each of the relationships expressed in the original data set. The output contains the four original variables, *country*, *year*, *population*, and *cases*, and the values of these variables are grouped according to the orginal observations. As a bonus, now the layout of these relationships is tidy.

You can further customize `separate()` with the `remove`, `convert`, and `extra` arguments:
- **`remove`** - Set `remove = FALSE` to retain the column of values that were separated in the final data frame.
- **`convert`** - By default, `separate()` will return new columns as character columns. Set `convert = TRUE` to convert new columns to double (numeric), integer, logical, complex, and factor columns with `type.convert()`.
