Lossy compressors don't have the same constraints as a lossless compressor. If you data your input, compress it, and then decompress it, the output is not identical to the input. This allows the compressor to potentially compress the data far more than even the ideal lossless compressor hypothesized above.
The question mark (?), also known as the interrogation point, query, and eroteme, is a punctuation mark that indicates an interrogative clause, or phrase in many languages. The question mark is not used for indirect questions.
The Latin word signum, meaning âmarkâ or âindication,â gives us the root sign. Words from the Latin signum have something to do with marks, signs, or indications. A sign is a move of the hand that indicates something to others. To designate is to mark someone or something for a special purpose.
