# integer-compression

Demonstrates several methods of integer compression:

- binary

- unary

- gamma

- delta

## Usage

### Compression

```

usage: compress [-h] M N

Compress an integer.

positional arguments:

  M           the compression method

  N           the integer to compress

optional arguments:

  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

```

For example:

```

$ ./compress gamma 3

101

$ ./compress gamma 5

11001

```

### Decompression

```

usage: decompress [-h] M C

Decompress an integer.

positional arguments:

  M           the compression method used

  C           the compressed integer to decompress

optional arguments:

  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

```

For example:

```

$ ./decompress gamma 101

3

$ ./decompress gamma 11001

5

```
