Overview
Implementation of Huffman coding—a fundamental lossless compression algorithm. Demonstrates how variable-length codes based on character frequency can achieve optimal prefix-free encoding.
Key Concepts
- Implemented frequency analysis on input data
- Built Huffman tree using priority queue
- Created encoding table from tree traversal
- Implemented compression and decompression
- Calculated compression ratios
