Introduction Compression algorithms are an important aspect of computer science. Compaction is the method of minimizing the quantity of data required for a given piece of information to be stored or transmitted, usually by the use of encoding techniques. Today, when 20 megabytes may be needed for an uncompressed digital image, data compression is critical ... <p class=“read-more-container”><a title=“Run Length Encoding” class=“read-more button” href=“https://teachcomputerscience.com/run-length-encoding/”>Read more<span class=“screen-reader-text”>Run Length Encoding</span></a></p>
