result = rans_decode(enc, [as_str=false])

Input: enc, as_str · Output: result

What it is

Inverse of rans_encode: enc is the Record that call returned; as_str (named boolean, default false) asks for text instead of bytes.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Code	Input	Output	Description
`result = rans_decode(enc, [as_str=false])`	`enc` RecordInverse of `rans_encode`: `enc` is the `Record` that call returned. `as_str` boolean, optional (default `false`)`as_str` (named boolean, default `false`) asks for text instead of bytes.	`result` Vec, number, or Str	Returns a `Vec` of 0-255 numbers, or the decoded text as a `Str` when `as_str = true`.

Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

s = "hello hello hello compression world"
enc = rans_encode(s)
print(numel(enc.bytes))                    # coded length, in bytes

print(rans_decode(enc, as_str = true) == s)  # true

output
