Abstract

The process of storing data with the help of digits obtained from constant expansion is an interesting one, which stores your data in the digits of a constant, instead of consuming hard drive space. The pattern for a file is looked up in the constant and identified by the index of this pattern into it along with its length. Hence, instead of storing actual data, only the meta-data, i.e., the index and length of a file are stored in the disk. The reverse process takes place while retrieving a file for reading with the help of file location stored in the meta-data. This is achieved by performing preprocessing of digits of the constant and doing pattern recognition in it.
