Arithmetic CodingArithmetic coding is a method of encoding data using a variable number of bits. The number of bits used to encode each symbol varies according to the probability assigned to that symbol.
Low probability symbols use many bits, high probability symbols use fewer bits.So far, this makes Arithmetic Coding sound very similar to Huffman coding. However, there is an important difference. An arithmetic encoder doesn’t have to use an integral number of bits to encode a symbol. If the optimal number of bits for a symbol is 2.4, a Huffman coder will probably use 2 bits per symbol, whereas the arithmetic encoder my use very close to 2.4. This means an arithmetic coder can usually encode a message using fewer bits.The method by which this is accomplished is somewhat complex, and is explainedin some of the links shown below.
Arithmetic Operators in C - The following table shows all the arithmetic operators supported by the C language. Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then −.
The author of this code created this visualization executable for a seminar.DCL reader Drew D. Downloaded the code, executed it, and had this to say about it: The program is an executable for windows with a dll and some gif’s.
The program seems to require a screen size greater than 800×600 to view the fixed size window. The program is a bit cryptic to me since I only have a basic understanding of Arithmetic encoding but it offers nice step by step encoding with some statistical information.
It also allows for the modifying of input types and reading from a file.

During its long gestation in the 1970s and early 1980s, arithmetic coding was widely regarded more as an academic curiosity than a practical coding technique. One factor that helped it gain the popularity it enjoys today was the publication in 1987 of source code for a multi symbol arithmetic coder in Communications of the ACM. Now (1995), our understanding of arithmetic coding has further matured, and it is timely to review the components of that implementation and summarise the improvements that we and other authors have developed since then. We also describe a novel method for performing the underlying calculation needed for arithmetic coding. Accompanying the paper is a 'Mark II' implementation that incorporates the improvements we suggest. The areas examined include: changes to the coding procedure that reduce the number of multiplications and divisions and permit them to be done to low precision; the increased range of probability approximations and alphabet sizes that can be supported using limited precision calculation; data structures for support of arithmetic coding on large alphabets; the interface between the modelling and coding subsystems; the use of enhanced models to allow high performance compression. For each of these areas, we consider how the new implementation differs from the CACM package.
