Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The LZ77 algorithm works on past data whereas LZ78 algorithm attempts to work on future data. It does this by forward scanning the input buffer and matching it against a dictionary it maintains. It will scan into the buffer until it cannot find a match in the dictionary.

Detailed explanation-2: -LZ77 is a dictionary-based method, which means that it tries to compress data by encoding long strings of symbols, called phrases, as small tokens that reference entries in a dictionary. Compression is achieved by using relatively small tokens in place of longer phrases that appear several times in the data.
