There are probably more than 50 variations on the basic Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm. As you have pointed out, the one shown in the online demo is not quite the same as what I presented in class.
You are free to implement any such variation you want, or to try to invent your own. However, whatever algorithm you implement must be recognizable as a form of LZW.
The TAs will soon post information about how one can get extra credit for implementing interesting variations/improvements on the basic LZW I presented in class. |
