Talk:Incompressible string
This page really needs to be rewritten or deleted. The use of first person is abundant and ridiculous.
I may or may not have misunderstood the thing, but the last example 1234999988884321 should be compressible with the RunLengthEncoding-algorithm of Tsukyama, which sees characters appearing twice as "escape-character" (or run value) and needs an additional character to store, how often to repeat:
This would lead to: 1234 99(escape-runvalue) 2(run length) 88(Escape-runvalue) 2(run) 4321
So compression would be possible by 2 characters: 1234999988884321 12349928824321 When decompressing, you look for characters(run-values) that appear twice and interpret the next character as how often to repeat this respecitve character(run) 88 2 becomes 88 88, 99 2 becomes 9999.[1] Anyone who can confirm this is correct, before I add this into the article?
