Datacompressing
Datacompressing, also known as data compression, is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. The primary goal of data compression is to reduce the storage space required for data and to decrease the time it takes to transmit data over networks. This is achieved by identifying and eliminating redundancy within the data.
There are two main categories of data compression: lossless and lossy. Lossless compression methods allow the
Lossy compression methods, on the other hand, achieve higher compression ratios by discarding some information that
The choice between lossless and lossy compression depends on the specific application and the tolerance for
