    Read up on how LZ77 Data Compression works as this better explains the use of this "window" size to move forward for any matched buffer of data.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
