Convert a vector of integers into a single number

Question

Does anyone know a way to turn a vector of integers into a single number in R, for example: ``` > x <- c(1,2,3) > x <- compress(x) > x [1] 123 ``` Where `compress()` would be some sort of function to do so. I would like the value `x` to be a single number so I can multiply it by an encryption key.

Accepted Answer

Try this

```
x = 1:3
as.numeric(paste(x, collapse = ""))
# 123
```
