In the RLE process, what is the role of the repeating character?
It defines the compression ratio.
It represents the pixel value being compressed.
It specifies the number of repeated characters.
It acts as a control code.
Explanation
The repeating character is the data that the RLE algorithm identifies and encodes to reduce storage space.
