Lesson outcome

I can describe and use run length encoding to compress data.

Show transcript
Run length encoding is a lossless data compression technique that reduces the size of repeating sequences of data. Run length encoding uses the concept of redundancy to reduce file size. Redundancy is about the repetitive information within a data set, which can be removed without losing essential meaning. Run length encoding may not always reduce file size and may not be suitable for all applications.
