 =====OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS=====
-Just like what we did in rle0, the rle1's encoder should output the original file's length, the encoded file length, followed by the compression ratio. The output is not strict, as long as you have the correct input file length, output file length, and compression ratio.
+Just like what we did in rle0, the rle1's encoder should output the original file's length, the encoded file length, followed by the compression ratio. The output is not strict, as long as you have the correct input file length, output file length, and compression ratio. The compression ratio can be calculated by the following equation: 'Output Length / Input Length'. Make sure in your code to set the type of the variable holding the compression ratio to 'double' or 'float'. You may also want to take a look at the C output format specifiers for a prettier output.
