Encoder for encoding a plurality of coefficient information flags and encoding a plurality of absolute value flags
An encoder including circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In a second type of residual coding among a first type of residual coding where an orthogonal transform is applied to a current block and the second type of residual coding where the orthogonal transform is skipped for the current block, wherein a first syntax used for the first type of residual coding is different from a second syntax used for the second type of residual coding, the circuitry: in a first loop process, derives a context index by using at least one of a plurality of surrounding coefficients; and encodes a plurality of coefficient information flags by CABAC with the derived context index; and in a second loop process of the plurality of loop processes, encodes a plurality of absolute value flags by CABAC with another context index.
