Datapakkaaminen
Datapakkaaminen, meaning data compression in Finnish, refers to the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. This is achieved by identifying and reducing redundancy within the data. Compression can be broadly categorized into two types: lossless and lossy.
Lossless compression algorithms allow for the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed version.
Lossy compression, on the other hand, achieves higher compression ratios by discarding some information that is
The choice between lossless and lossy compression depends on the nature of the data and the intended
