Data compression TIRA

Programme: CS

Note

Doesn't work on binary files, this may be due to the larger alphabet size. Though it should work fine on text files. May be fixed at a later date.

Test Dependencies

• Catch2

Build instructions

git clone https://github.com/vikke1234/compression_tira.git
cd compression_tira
mkdir build
cmake ..
make tira

NOTE: it might not work fully yet, it should work on "simple repetitive data", because the lengths of the paths may be too long (>16 bits) it will crash and burn. I'm working currently on a solution for it but it still requires testing.
