What is the first step in Huffman coding?
Look for the smallest values in the frequency table.
What does a composite letter represent?
Think about how frequencies combine in Huffman coding.
In Huffman coding, what is the first step?
Think about how to minimize the encoding length.
True or False: Huffman coding guarantees optimal encoding for any set of frequencies.
Recall the method's effectiveness in reducing overall size.
Given a character set with a range of frequencies, design a Huffman tree and encode the characters. Use frequencies A=0.12, B=0.22, C=0.38, D=0.08.
Remember to track your frequencies carefully at every merging step.
Explain how changing frequencies affects Huffman coding. For instance, what if frequency D was reduced to 0.04 instead of 0.08?
Think about how the minimum values shift with different frequencies.
