C - Vector of discrete data representing the combinations of 4 basic states (A, B, AB, C, AC, etc.)

 
 
 
 
 
Code of field: C
 
Type of field: multi-state unordered discrete data.
 
Storage: one integer with value 0 to 3 for each subfield.
 
 
Applicable to:
 
Discrete data, multiple states (ex: colors, type of vegetation, climate...) 
 
 
Comments:
 
Originally the C characters format was introduced to handle color data. However, many different types of multi-state (up to 5000 states) discrete data can be handled with this format and the associated algorithms.
