Line 1:
I've rewritten what was here to be grammatically correct English. Later I hope to go back and edit, to put in detail on actual range encoding, and remove the claim added by Suns which seems (as far as I can tell) to be based solely on one particular implementation of range encoding, not on range encoding itself. (Why is arithmetic coding on the page [[arithmetic encoding]], Huffman coding on the page [[Huffman encoding]], but range encoding on the page [[Range encoder]]?)
----
What exactly is the difference between range and arithmetic encoding? I can't seem to see any difference in principle. This sentence from the article
:''Arithmatic coding can be thought of as a form of range encoding with the range starting at zero and extending to one.''
seems to confirm my suspicion that they are slightly different ways of describing the same thing. [[User:CyborgTosser|CyborgTosser]] ([[User_talk:CyborgTosser|Only half the battle]]) 12:10, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
