Data compression

In computer science and information theory, data compression or source coding is the process of encoding information using fewer bits (or other information-bearing units) than an unencoded representation would use through use of specific encoding schemes. One of the most famous loss-less compression algorithm is the Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression method.
