Project: Text Compression: Time Versus Size

I decided to compare different types of compression on different documents. You can choose either the original version, one-word replacement, or two-word replacement to see the time and digital space trade-off between a simple and more complex compression. One-word replacement takes frequently appearing words and replaces them with a code word, while two-word replacement takes frequently appearing two-word phrases and replaces them with a code word.
