% @deftypefn {Function File} {} arithmetic_encode (@var{message}, @var{symbol_probabilites_list})
%
% Computes the arithmetic code for the message with symbol
% probabilities are given. The arithmetic coding procedure assumes
% that @var{message} is a list of numbers and the symbol probabilities
% correspond to the index. For example
%
% @example
% @group
% symbols=[1,2,3,4]; sym_prob=[0.5 0.25 0.15 0.10];
% message=[1, 1, 2, 3, 4];
% arithmetic_encode(message,sym_prob) ans=0.18078
% @end group
