range_encode

Builtin index · File I/O

result = range_encode(data)

Input: data · Output: result

What it is

Byte-oriented adaptive range coding of data (a Str, or a Vec of 0-255 byte values). The model adapts as it goes, so nothing but the symbol count travels alongside the payload.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Code	Input	Output	Description
`result = range_encode(data)`	`data` Str or Vecnot documented yet	`bytes` Veca `Vec` of 0-255 coded bytes `symbol_count` Numa `Num`, the input length	Returns a `Record` with fields `bytes` (a `Vec` of 0-255 coded bytes) and `symbol_count` (a `Num`, the input length). Empty input gives `none` rather than a record.
