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:

    All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it—an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.
    Peter Conrad (b. 1948)

    ... the self respect of individuals ought to make them demand of their leaders conformity with an agreed-upon code of ethics and moral conduct.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
