What are the key principles of run-length encoding (RLE)?
Replacing a sequence of the same data with its length and the data.
Only for text files.
Preserving the original data without any loss.
Identifying and encoding long sequences of similar data.
Explication
RLE identifies repetitive data patterns and encodes the repeating sequence using its length and value.
