Block 3 Part 1 - Compression

Just completed sections 4.1 and 4.2 dealing with compression. I found this really interesting, and tackled the little activities with relish!

Here's my version of the simple compression of a poem extract (it's almost but not quite the same as the given solution):

Activity 26

Now try coding this short extract from a poem by Wendy Cope (1992) by suggesting a dictionary and then encoding the extract:

I am a poet.

I am very fond of bananas.

I am bananas.

I am very fond of a poet.

I am a poet of bananas.

I am very fond.

(a)   Build up a dictionary:

Code	Word(s)
1	I am
2	a poet
3	very fond
4	bananas
5	of

(b)  Encode the poem extract:

1 3 5 4.
