algorithm
A collection of ordered steps that solve a mathematical problemA collection of ordered steps that solve a mathematical problem. A precise step-by-step plan for a computational procedure that possibly begins with an input value and yields an output value in a finite number of steps.
» Data compression algorithms can be classified in two categories: those with data loss and those without data loss.
Datenkompressionsalgorithmen lassen sich in zwei Kategorien aufteilen: verlustbehaftete und verlustfreie.
Алгоритмы сжатия данных можно разделить на две категории: с потерей данных и без потерь данных.
