I understood the concept of compression involved reducing the size of files. Some of the benefits of this process is freed up disk space, improved transmission speed, and better secured files. However, I never learned the “how” about the process. Today, I learned there are different compression algorithms that execute this process. The Lossless type of file compression stores data in efficient manner by reducing redundancy. I found an article written by Vicky that I feel provides a great example of this process. A text like “eeeerrrssjjj” can be reduced to “e4r3s2j4”.
