Output would be like this...
Original_String_Length=1000Compressed_String_Length=824, Compression_Ratio=17.600%
Decompressed_String_Length=1000 == Original_String_Length (1000)
Original_String == Decompressed_String=True
** More big string more compression ratio
** More similar words more compression ratio
