What is the main characteristic of a lossless compression algorithm?
It guarantees the complete reconstruction of the original data.
It is commonly used for audio compression.
It involves discarding unnecessary data to reduce the file size.
It always results in smaller file sizes compared to the original.
Shpjegimi
Lossless compression preserves all the original data, enabling perfect reconstruction.
