encode: Encode

In rinform: An R Wrapper of the 'Inform' C Library for Information Analysis of Complex Systems

Description

Encode a base-b array of integers into a single integer. This function uses a big-endian encoding scheme. That is, the most significant bits of the encoded integer are determined by the left-most end of the unencoded state.

Usage

encode(state, b = NA)

Arguments

state	Vector of the state to encode.
b	Numeric giving the base in which to encode.

Value

Numeric giving the encoded state.

Examples

# With specified base
encode(c(0, 0, 1), b = 2) # 1
encode(c(0, 1, 0), b = 3) # 3
encode(c(1, 0, 0), b = 4) # 16

# Without specified base
encode(c(0, 0, 2)) # 2
encode(c(0, 2, 0)) # 6
encode(c(1, 2, 1)) # 16
