Functions are used to map elements from one set to another. For example, barcode and QR scanner systems are developed by programmers to use specific symbologies to map the pattern in the barcode to actual digits. The check digit or the final digit is used to determine whether the function is true (known good) or false (errors in the mapping occurred). RFID system developers also use functions to develop a pairing protocol that securely connects legitimate devices within a specific proximity. RFIDs are using in logistics, retail, warehousing, and more.
