Abstract: The paper presents results of experimental testing of 5 data compression algorithms (Shannon-Fano, LZW, Standard Huffman, Dynamic Huffman, Arithmetic Compression). Testing was intended to highlight the performance of compression algorithms depending on the nature of the data (text, image, sound, executable, dynamic libraries, C++, Pascal).

Keywords: Shannon-Fano, LZW, Standard Huffman, Dynamic Huffman, Arithmetic Compression.
