Context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding

Context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding is a way for computers to quickly and efficiently compress and store data. It does this by first breaking the data down into individual bits – the smallest units of information in a computer – and then organizing them into shorter chunks that can be written and read quickly. For example, if you were sending a video file over the internet, this process would help the computer make the file smaller and faster to send. The computer can also quickly read the compressed file and make sure it is still the same as the original.
