    @irene run length encoding, in which if you have data in which you have long sequences of values that repeat you store the value and a count instead,

    Eg. (v, v, v, v, k, v, v, v, v, v) you'd store that as (v, 4, k, v, 5).

    RLE is nice 😊

    I learned about that in 7th grade, and used it on my calculator to store pictures in less space. It was my first compression algorithm!
