Description

This pull request adds two classic lossless compression algorithms to the compression category:

LZW (Lempel–Ziv–Welch)

Builds a dictionary of strings and replaces repeating patterns with shorter codes.

Example:

Input: TOBEORNOTTOBEORTOBEORNOT
Output: [84, 79, 66, 69, 79, 82, 78, 79, 84, 256, 258, 260, 265, 259, 261, 263]

Arithmetic Coding

Encodes a message as a single number between 0 and 1 using symbol probabilities.

Example:

Input: "BABA" (A:0.5, B:0.5)
Output: 0.34375
