wikilink Elias gamma coding
Line 20:
Exp-Golomb coding is also used in the [[Dirac (codec)|Dirac video codec]].
 
The <math>k=0</math> exp-Golomb code is identical to the [[Elias gamma coding|Elias gamma code]] of the same number plus one. Thus it can encode zero, whereas Elias gamma can only encode numbers greater than zero.
 
Despite the similar name, exp-Golomb is only somewhat similar to [[Golomb coding]], which is a type of entropy coding but not a universal code.
