Elias delta coding is a variable-length prefix coding scheme used for encoding integers, particularly useful in applications such as data compression and efficient numeral representation. It is part of a family of Elias codes, which also includes Elias gamma and Elias omega coding. The Elias delta coding scheme consists of the following steps for encoding a positive integer \( n \): 1. **Binary Representation**: First, determine the binary representation of the integer \( n \).
