Subject: Data compression
Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007 01:25:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707080125.28354.jon@ffconsultancy.com> (raw)
When I first learned the C programming language I found data compression
algorithms very educational. Does anyone have references to toy data
compression implementations written in OCaml?
There was a thread in the Haskell mailing list recently about a
Burrows-Wheeler implementation that is very concise and quite efficient in
Haskell. In particular, it uses the lazy sort to get the kth smallest element
in O(n) time trick... :-)
