Entropy Coding

+**Entropy Coding**

+Entropy coding is a form of [Data Compression](/wiki/Data_Compression) that assigns unique, variable-length codes to symbols based on their frequency. It aims to represent data with the fewest possible bits, guided by the principles of [Information Theory](/wiki/Information_Theory), by giving common symbols shorter encodings. This process effectively removes statistical redundancy from the data.
