Decompression

Q: How deeply does Classic Computer Science Problems in Swift: Essential techniques for practicing programmers cover decompression?

Implements bit-pair decoding in Swift and preserves length, without developing general compression formats or algorithms.

As explained in Classic Computer Science Problems in Swift: Essential techniques for practicing programmers

Decompression is the process of reversing a compressed representation to recover the original data.

Decompression reverses a compressed representation to recover the original data. It trades execution time for reduced storage or transmission size, making sense when space matters more than immediate execution. section 1.2

Compressed gene

Calling decompress() on CompressedGene(original: "ATGAATGCC") reconstructs the original gene string.
