Hi everyone, How would I go about taking X number of inputs and combining them all to create an 'output ID'? The key thing about the ID is that it should take all the inputs into account (preferably with weighting such as having X1 slightly more important than X2) and produce a number where number can be used to compare similarity. For example: A) Inputs 1,2,3 ---> ---> 0123456 B) Inputs 1,2,4 ---> ---> 0123457 C) Inputs 5,3,8 ---> ---> 1354565 Notice A and B are similar, so the outputs are similar to each other than A/B and C. Thank you for any help
