What are three examples of compression

[measqu]

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me out with a question I have about compression. I'm trying to understand what some examples of compression are and I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone provide me with three examples of compression and a brief explanation as to how they work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Lossless Compression

Lossless compression is a type of compression where original data is retained without any loss of information. Examples of lossless compression include ZIP, RAR, GZIP, and Bzip2.

2. Lossy Compression

Lossy compression is a type of compression where some data is lost to achieve better compression ratios. Examples of lossy compression include JPEG, MP3, and MP4.

3. Data Compression

Data compression is a technique used to reduce the file size of a digital file. Examples of data compression include Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, and run-length encoding.
