Create variables that uniquely identify rows in a data table

Description

This function generates unique identifier columns for a given number of rows, based on the specified number of identifier variables.

Usage

create_ids(n_rows, n_ids, prefix = "id")

Arguments

n_rows	An integer specifying the number of rows in the data table for which unique identifiers need to be generated.
n_ids	An integer specifying the number of identifiers to be created. If n_ids is 1, a simple sequence of unique IDs is created. If greater than 1, a combination of IDs is generated.
prefix	A character string specifying the prefix for the identifier variable names (default is "id").

Value

A named list where each element is a vector representing a unique identifier column. The number of elements in the list corresponds to the number of identifier variables (n_ids). The length of each element is equal to n_rows.
