1.3 Data Storage & Compression Methods
Lossy vs. Lossless Compression Techniques used to reduce file sizes to save storage space and accelerate network transmission speed. Lossy Compression: Irreversibly discards non-critical or perceptual data (e.g., JPEG for photos, MP3 for audio). Noticeably reduces file size. Lossless Compression: Compresses without losing any data bits using algorithms like Run Length Encoding (RLE) and Huffman […]
