Practical considerations
¡Is
encoding practical for long texts or short ones?
lShort:
impractical
¡To decode
it, you would need the code table
¡The code
table is bigger than the message
lLong:
practical
¡The encoded
string is large relative to the code table
Question: What about if we agree on code
table beforehand?
