Delta Encoding - Sample C Code

Sample C Code

The following C code performs a simple form of delta encoding and decoding:

void delta_encode (char *buffer, const unsigned int length) { char delta = 0; char original; unsigned int i; for (i = 0; i < length; ++i) { original = buffer; buffer -= delta; delta = original; } } void delta_decode (char *buffer, const unsigned int length) { char delta = 0; unsigned int i; for (i = 0; i < length; ++i) { buffer += delta; delta = buffer; } }

Famous quotes containing the words sample and/or code:

    The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Acknowledge your will and speak to us all, “This alone is what I will to be!” Hang your own penal code up above you: we want to be its enforcers!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
