then the entropy is zero.

Hi,
I mean this : "Shannon entropy allows to estimate the average minimum number of bits needed to encode a string of symbols based on the alphabet size and the frequency of the symbols."

see https://www.shannonentropy.netmark.pl/

You would certainly be interested to know the number for the sample you wish to compress.

Hi,

I am going one step forward that. Science evolves.

It is already being explained in the documentation and codec, that I am sending to the contest this weekend.

For me, Shanon theory is obsolete, and the proof is the codec.

In a month, ill be glad to explain it to you.

the first planes were made of wood, then with metal and then with plastic and fibers, every technological step created new possibilities that were not available in the previous version, and our frame of reference changes. You dont conceive of flying in a plane made of wood now, but that was the historical frame or reference of past people.

best
