3.3.3: understand how a lossless, run-length encoding (RLE) algorithm works
Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Lossless | a type of fully reversible compression algorithm that doesn't lose any quality after encoding or compressing |
RLE | run length encoding: where repeated values (e.g. WWWWWWWWBBW) can be encoded by saying the value and how many times it should be repeated (e.g. 8W2B1W) |
