Struct rdir_encoding::RecursiveIndexing

pub struct RecursiveIndexing;

Recursive indexing encoding Recursive indexing encodes values such that the encoded values lie within the open interval (MIN, MAX). This allows to create a more compact representation of a 32-bit signed integer array when the majority of values in the array fit into 16-bit (or 8-bit). To encode each value in the input array the method stores the value itself if it lies within the open interval (MIN, MAX), otherwise the MAX (or MIN if the number is negative) interval endpoint is stored and subtracted from the input value. This process of storing and subtracting is repeated recursively until the remainder lies within the interval.

Note that MAX and MIN are the largest and smallest value that can be represented by the i16 integer type

Examples

use rdir_encoding::RecursiveIndexing;

let data = [1, 420, 32767, 120, -32768, 32769];

let encoded = RecursiveIndexing::encode(&data).unwrap();
assert_eq!(encoded, vec![1, 420, 32767, 0, 120, -32768, 0, 32767, 2]);

let decoded = RecursiveIndexing::decode(&encoded).unwrap();
assert_eq!(decoded, data);
