Data compression with examples

How can data be compressed?
Compression is performed by a program that uses a formula or algorithm to determine how to shrink the size of the data.
For instance, an algorithm may represent a string of bits -- or 0s and 1s -- with a smaller string of 0s and 1s by using a dictionary for the conversion between them..
Text compression techniques
Examples of compressed file extensions are .
RAR, . ZIP and .
TAR..
Which of the following is an example of compressed data?
The frequency distribution, histogram, and ogive all represent a large amount of data with a much smaller diagram/graph or formula.
Thus, they represent a compressed form of data..
Therefore, we use compression tools to compress big files and decrease their size.
The format of the files changes while compressing and we cannot access or edit them directly.
Besides, we can easily decompress the file and get the original file back.
Examples are WinZip, WinRAR, WinAce, PeaZip, 7-Zip, etc.

Compression is done by a program that uses functions or an algorithm to effectively discover how to reduce the size of the data. For example, an algorithm might represent a string of bits with a smaller string of bits by using a 'reference dictionary' for conversion between them.

What are the different types of compression?

Types of Compression.
Three compression techniques are available for compressed format data sets.
They are DBB-based compression, tailored compression, and zEnterprise® data compression (zEDC).
These techniques determine the method used to derive a compression dictionary for the data sets:

DBB-based compression (also referred to as GENERIC)

What is the fastest data compression algorithm?

The fastest algorithm, lz4, results in lower compression ratios; xz, which has the highest compression ratio, suffers from a slow compression speed.
However, Zstandard, at the default setting, shows substantial improvements in both compression speed and decompression speed, while compressing at the same ratio as zlib.
