Let's revisit compression for a moment before launching into Memory.
Memory vs Storage
Memory vs Storage
When people are talking about computers, and they say memory... they might mean the RAM (random access memory), or they might mean their hard drive where data is stored. We often use the terms interchangeably, and a good number of people don't understand the difference or understand the hardware related to these.
First, let's make sure we understand the basic difference between a memory and storage.
Let's talk a bit about memory and storage in relation to programming.

TASK: Writing to Storage
I mentioned that we would need to write the data to a file if we want it to persist after the program finishes running. Let's see how we can do that, while also playing a little with compression. Follow along and create your own.
