BACKGROUND
Version 2 of our RLE algorithm.
This time we will be encoding and decoding similar data focusing on more than one byte.
Run Length Encoding (RLE) Data Compression Algorithm
Run-length encoding (RLE) algorithm is a lossless compression of runs of data, where repeated sequences of data are stored as a representation of a single data value and its count (how many times it repeats consecutively). RLE encoding is commonly used in JPEG, TIFF, and PDF files, to name a few examples.
