ABSTRACT:
A method for storing a predetermined data set includes the step of selecting a base number of data bits to be used to store the data set. Each data word of the data set is defined as either a base value or an extended value. Base values are those that require a number of data bits less than or equal to the base number to be stored. Extended values are those that require a number of data bits greater than the base number to be stored. Base values are stored using a number of data bits equal to the base number and are provided with a prefix to indicate that the data word is a base value. Extended values are stored using a number of data bits greater than the base number and are provided with a prefix to indicate that the stored data word is an extended value, wherein the prefix further indicates the number of bits in excess of the base number that are used to store the extended value.
