About

Uncram is a repository that attempts to implement multiple decompression algorithms. Algorithms implemented can be simple (like run-length) or complicated (like huffman).

---

Algorithms

This repository implements the following lossless algorithms: Run Length, LZW, and Huffman

Run Length

Run Length encoding uses the following system, and is a very simple text file compression method.

Simplify a line like a4b2c1d4e2 to aaaabbcddddee

LZW

Huffman

Sister Repository

This repository has a sister repository called Cram that seeks to compress the files decompressed using these algorithms.

How to Run

Just simply download the uncram_latest.zip file in the repository and extract the contents. Then just run whichever file you want to test out.

❗ G++ compiler recommended. This repository has not been tested for Clang, GCC, EDG, and other compilers. GCC is the most likely alternative to work, since it is closely related to G++
