5.2. Huffman Coding¶

5.2.1. Huffman Coding¶

5.2.1.1. Coding¶

ASCII codes are fixed length (7 + 1 bits)

In general, $n$ bits can store $2^n$ codes

An alternative is variable-length coding

The relative frequencies for eight selected letters.

$\begin{split}\begin{array}{|c|cccccccc|} \hline \textrm Letter & C & D & E & K & L & M & U & Z\\ \textrm Frequency & 32 & 42 & 120 & 7 & 42 & 24 & 37 & 2\\ \hline \end{array}\end{split}$
