Questions and Answers

What is the basic idea behind Lempel Ziv Encoding?

  • Using a cryptographic key to encrypt strings for secure communication.
  • Encoding data using lossy compression techniques.
  • Creating a dictionary of strings for communication and substituting previously-encountered strings with their index in the dictionary. (correct)
  • Creating a table of symbols for efficient data transmission.

Who developed the Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) universal lossless data compression algorithm?

  • Alan Turing and Claude Shannon
  • Bill Gates and Steve Jobs
  • Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv, and Terry Welch (correct)
  • Tim Berners-Lee and Vint Cerf

What is the purpose of building an indexed dictionary in the Lempel Ziv Compression algorithm?

  • To ensure the security of the compressed data.
  • To enable lossy compression of the data.
  • To create a visual representation of the compressed data.
  • To facilitate substitution of previously-encountered strings with their index in the dictionary during compression. (correct)
