Study Notes

String Processing - Compression

Objective: To reduce the space occupied by data while considering the time spent on the compression process.
Approach: Leverage data redundancy, identifying frequently repeated characters, homogeneous areas, and recurring patterns.
Common Examples:
- Text files: Frequent character repetition.
- Image files: Large, homogenous areas.
- Digital representations of sound and analog signals: Highly repeated patterns.
Typical Results:
- Text files: 20% to 50% space savings.
- Binary files: 50% to 90% space savings (except for files with a random distribution of bits).
Important Note: Any compression method, regardless of its effectiveness, can result in files larger than the original in certain cases.
