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”. </p> <p><a href="https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/what-dose-compressing-a-file-do.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/what-dose-compressing-a-file-do.html</a></p> devto announcement web3 blockchain
