Talk:Elias delta coding

This doesn't look right...


 * I don't think it is. I think someone has switched around Elias Delta and Elias Gamma.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:21, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC) My mistake -- but it is a very poor way of describing the process.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:43, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The alternative description seems wrong. Consider using it to encode the number 2: 2 is 2^1, so we would start by storing 1 with Elias Gamma encoding. However, that would mean the code would start with 1, while in fact the Elias delta code for 2 is 0100. -- 195.255.198.65 09:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

advantage?
I would like to suggest a section to discuss the strengths and utility of this coding. Chris2crawford (talk) 14:30, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
