I want to work on data compression algorithms using the C language. Where should I begin?
That sounds great. Do you have any recommendations for specific data compression algorithms I should focus on?
Well, it depends on what kind of data you're planning to compress. There are several popular algorithms like Huffman coding, Lempel-Ziv coding, and Burrows-Wheeler Transform that you can consider. However, you should choose an algorithm based on the type of data you plan to work with and the level of compression you need.
