In software, an encoder takes some data and transforms it into a format suitable for storage or transmission.

In hardware, an encoder which takes multiple input lines and outputs the binary representation of the single input line which is set to high. Since it is difficult to guarantee that only a single input line will be high at the same time, a priority encoder is generally used instead.
