Encode Value

Description

Takes a vector and returns an integer that is a product of the prime keys corresponding to the values in the vector. The second argument takes an encoding key as generated by make_encoding_key(). Values can be decoded using decode_value().

Usage

encode_value(values_to_encode, prime_key)

Arguments

values_to_encode	A vector of values to encode.
prime_key	An encoding key, as generated by make_encoding_key().

Value

A double, containing an integer value.
