Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lossy compression permanently discards some of the data in a file, which can lead to a reduction in quality, but results in a smaller file size. Redundant compression, while it does remove repeated or unnecessary data, does not permanently discard any information. Huffman and lossless compression methods do not discard any data at all.
