Replace dot in a specific column

Question

I have the DF:

KEY <- c(12,55,889)
FOOD <- c("RICE","TOMATO","MANGO")
CAR <- c("BMW.3","FERRARI.12","TOYOTA.58")
DF <- data.frame(KEY,FOOD,CAR)

How do I replace the dot in the "CAR" column?

I expect this result

    KEY <- c(12,55,889)
    FOOD <- c("RICE","TOMATO","MANGO")
    CAR <- c("BMW3","FERRARI12","TOYOTA58")
    DF <- data.frame(KEY,FOOD,CAR)

How would my code be using pipe? DF<- DF %>% .... – Bruno Avila Feb 18 '20 at 13:56
@BrunoAvila No need for pipe `CAR=gsub("\\.","",CAR)` and then data frame it. – user2974951 Feb 18 '20 at 13:57
