LZW Encoding and Decoding Algorithm Explained and Implemented in Java | Data Compression | Geekific

If you were to take a look at almost any data file on a computer, character by character, you would notice that there are many recurring patterns. LZW is a data compression technique that takes advantage of this repetition and the subject of this video.

Okay, this is waaaay beyond the info I need but I completely appreciate finding this. It'll come back to your video when the time is right. 😊

Deep respect to all the coders I've stumbled across. I'm off to my quiet corner of studying file size and type for graphic design. This is too much for my brain to process now. 😂❤

Your videos are excellent dude! Love the clear explanation and most of all that you show coding snippets. You're really heping me with my learning, much respect.

[Anonymous-eqzm]

thank you so much! your explanations are so clear and provide the broad overview of what the algorithm is before diving into code!!

Thanks for this quality learning material

[meleseayichlie]

is it similar the code of the character and its ascii value?

[tuananhvu]

Do you have a code file with an explanation, I don't understand it when I hear gg translation?

[tuananhvu]

Thank you very much for your video, in the video I see is to change from each string of characters to a string of numbers, so is there any code to convert from a string of numbers to a string of characters?
I'm having this problem, thank you very much, hope you reply soon

Wow🤔 Well, brothers and sisters, this is good for outlook broadening☝🏼
Also, new moments in java.

Grasped the main idea but for sure will need to return some day later.

why gee is 265 tho ? It should've been 264 right cuz
ge 256
ee 257
ek 258
ki 259
if 260
fi 261
ic 262
cg 263
gee 264
can someone explained this please

This doesn't explain how you would output a stream of compressed bytes -- you can't send arbitrary length integers over the wire or in a file without encoding them in bytes.
