function pred = svmPredict(model, X)
% The svmPredict function returns a vector of predictions using a trained SVM model
%(see the file : svmTrain in this same repository). 

%   pred = SVMPREDICT(model, X) returns a vector of predictions using a 
%   trained SVM model (svmTrain). X is a mxn matrix where there each 
%   example is a row. model is a svm model returned from svmTrain.
%   predictions pred is a m x 1 column of predictions of {0, 1} values.

% need to do prediction for a single example
