What is the Huffman Coding?

The Huffman Coding

The Huffman coding is a lossless data compression algorithm. It is a variable-length coding technique.

Huffman coding works by assigning variable-length codes to symbols based on their frequency.

The more frequent a symbol is, the shorter its code will be.

This results in a more efficient compression than other coding techniques, such as RLE or LZW.

Huffman coding is used in a variety of applications, including file compression, data transmission, and network protocols.

It is also used in the compression of images, audio, and video.
