What is data Compression?

Data Compression is an art of representing information in a compact form.
This compaction of information is done by identifying the structure that exist in the data.

Compression data can only work when both the sender and the receiver of the information understand the encoding scheme..

For Example , any text make sense only if the receiver understands that it is intented to the interpreted as characters representing english language.

Similarly,the compressed data can only be understood if the decoding method is known by the receiver.
