Line 1:
'''Exponential-Golomb code''' (or just '''Exp-Golomb''') is a [[Universal code (data compression)|universal code]] encoding the positive integers. To code a number:
# Write the number plus 1 in binary.
Line 19:
Exp-Golomb is identical to the 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 not related to [[Golomb coding]], which is a type of entropy coding but not a universal code.
