To solve this type of questions:

Huffman coding is a method of data compression that is independent of the data type, that is, the data could represent an image, audio or spreadsheet. This compression scheme is used in JPEG and MPEG-2.

Huffman coding is done with the help of the following steps.

• Calculate the frequency of each character in the string.
• Sort the characters in increasing order of the frequency.
• Make each unique character as a leaf node.
• Create an empty node z .

1. First calculate frequency of characters if not given.
2. Generate Huffman Tree.
3. Calculate number of bits using frequency of characters and number of bits required to represent those characters.

The time complexity of the Huffman algorithm is O(nlogn). Using a heap to store the weight of each tree, each iteration requires O(logn) time to determine the cheapest weight and insert the new weight. There are O(n) iterations, one for each item.

The Huffman encoding scheme takes advantage of the disparity between frequencies and uses less storage for the frequently occurring characters at the expense of having to use more storage for each of the more rare characters.

Abstract: Huffman coding is known to be optimal, yet its dynamic version may yield smaller compressed files. The best known bound is that the number of bits used by dynamic Huffman coding in order to encode a message of n characters is at most larger by n bits than the number of bits required by static Huffman coding.

This method generates variable-length bit sequences called codes in such a way that the most frequently occurring character has the shortest code length. This is an optimal way to minimize the average access time of characters. It provides prefix codes and hence ensures lossless data compression and prevents ambiguity.

Huffman code is a data compression algorithm which uses the greedy technique for its implementation. The algorithm is based on the frequency of the characters appearing in a file. Since characters which have high frequency has lower length, they take less space and save the space required to store the file.

In fact, Dijkstra’s Algorithm is a greedy algo- rithm, and the Floyd-Warshall algorithm, which finds shortest paths between all pairs of vertices (see Chapter 26), is a dynamic program- ming algorithm. Although the algorithm is popular in the OR/MS literature, it is generally regarded as a “computer science method”.

Huffman code is obtained from the Huffman tree. Huffman code is a = 000, b = 001, c = 010, d = 011, e = 1. This is the optimum (minimum-cost) prefix code for this distribution. Given an alphabet A with frequency distribution {f(a) : a ∈ A}.

Which of the following is true about Huffman Coding. (C) In Huffman coding, no code is prefix of any other code. Explanation: Huffman coding is a lossless data compression algorithm. This is how Huffman Coding makes sure that there is no ambiguity when decoding.

Greedy algorithm

There are four types of coding: Data compression (or source coding) Error control (or channel coding) Cryptographic coding.

A Huffman code is a prefix code, which means that no code can be a prefix of any other code. In your example, A is a prefix of B, and C is a prefix of both D and E. That’s as far as you can go with codes of length 1, 2, and 2. Any other codes would be a prefix of those.

Definition 2.4 (Fixed Length Code) A fixed length code is a code such that λi = λj for all i, j Example 3: Suppose we have the three symbol alphabet a, b, c. One fixed length code would be C(α) = 00, C(β) = 01, C(γ) = 10. If the alphabet has N symbols in it, then we would need ⌈ log N ⌉ bits for a fixed length code.

Huffman coding is a lossless data compression algorithm. In this algorithm, a variable-length code is assigned to input different characters. The code length is related to how frequently characters are used. Most frequent characters have the smallest codes and longer codes for least frequent characters.

Abstract. Huffman’s well-known coding method constructs a minimum redundancy code which minim- izes the expected value of the word length. In this paper, we characterize the minimum redundancy code with the minimum variance of the word length. An algorithm is given to construct such a code.

There are three types of media codes, symbolic codes, technical codes and written codes. Conventions are expected ways in which codes are organised in a product.

Types of Codes

• Account Code. An account code categorizes equipment by cost and type.
• Commodity Code. Categorizes equipment for reporting purposes; used to assign a useful life to an item for depreciation.
• Location Code.
• Condition Code.
• Entity Code.
• Importance of Capitalizing.

Now we know that SQL satisfies the definition of a programming language but not a general-purpose programming language. Similarly, SQL, with its specific application domain, can be defined as a domain-specific language. Structured Query Language is a highly targeted language for “talking” to databases.
