Function File: unaryenc (value)

This function encodes the decimal value. Useful if you are trying to perform golomb-rice coding value needs to be a number or row-vector. value is a non-negative number.

Unary encoding of a +ve number N is done as follows, use N-ones followed by one zero. For instance, the unary coded value of 5 will be then (111110) in base2 which is 31x2 = 62. From this definition, decoding follows.

           message = [5   4   4   1   1   1]
           coded = unaryenc(message)
                 ⇒  [62   30   30    2    2    2]
           unarydec(coded)
                 ⇒  [5   4   4   1   1   1]
