Generating... Check Answer Next Address

Apply the first rule, omit leading zeros, for each address. Check your answer and generate a new address for more practice.

Test your compression skills:

Now apply this rule—use a double colon (::) to represent any single, contiguous string of two or more hextets that contain zeros .

Let’s build on your compression skills:

Next Rule: Use a double colon (::) to represent any single, contiguous string of two or more hextets consisting of all 0’s

Another Rule: The longest sequence of consecutive all-zero fields gets replaced by a double colon (::), but it can only be done once. If the strings are of equal length, the first string only should use the double colon (::) notation. If there is another sequence of zeros, it is not compressed to double colon (::).

Add in this rule—he longest sequence of consecutive all-zero fields get replaced by a double colon (::), but it can only be done once. The first string only should use the double colon (::) notation.
