Entropy coding is a type of lossless data compression technique that encodes data based on the statistical frequency of symbols. It uses the principle of entropy from information theory, which quantifies the amount of unpredictability or information content in a set of data. The goal of entropy coding is to represent data in a more efficient way, reducing the overall size of the data without losing any information.
