Talk:Run-length encoding
"The output can be anything." might be too open-ended. I would prefer it if all the solutions did it the same way, or something. --76.167.241.45 18:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
I would prefer this task to use a run length encoding which will work at least on all ASCII characters. The current encoding can't represent [0-9]. A more flexible encoding is implemented here. --IanOsgood 19:27, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Run code has high bit set, remaining 7 bits are run length-1.
- Bytes in stream with high bit set are always encoded as a run, perhaps with a length of only one.
