# RLE-Compression 

![rle-349606891](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/50596493/183259051-d13e545d-d4e1-41da-af43-7126a17869e0.jpeg)

A small hobby project to better understand lossless compression. Run Length Compression is one of the more less complicated algorithms to implicate. You look at the byte array of a life and count the occurrence. For example, the number nine occurs six times in a row. Then you write [6][9] as two bytes and repeat until the byte array is done.

## Compile and run

Compile the program with g++ and execute the a.out file with two arguments for the starting and ending path.

```bash

g++ Compress.cpp

```

```bash

./a.out [in_path] [out_path]

```
