A compressed data structure is a data representation that uses techniques to reduce the amount of memory required to store and manipulate data while still allowing efficient access and operations on it. The primary goal of compressed data structures is to save space and potentially improve performance in data retrieval compared to their uncompressed counterparts. ### Characteristics of Compressed Data Structures: 1. **Space Efficiency**: They utilize various algorithms and techniques to minimize the amount of memory required for storage. This is particularly beneficial when dealing with large datasets.
