Lets say I have a massive string of just a single character say x. I need to use huffman encoding. A huffman encoding is a fully binary tree. So how does one create a huffman code for just a singl...

I am writing a Huffman encoding/decoding tool and am looking for an efficient way to store the Huffman tree that is created to store inside of the output file. Currently there are two different ve...

I have implementated a simple compressor using pure huffman code under Windows.But I do not know much about how to decode the compressed file quickly,my bad algorithm is: Enumerate all the huffman...

I'm imagining a function like takeChunkUntil :: [a] -> ([a] -> Bool) -> ([a], [a]) Hopefully lazy. It takes elements from the first list until the group of them satisfies the predicate,...

I have 1 million rows in an application. It makes a request to a server such as the following: /search?q=hello And the search returns a sorted list of integers, representing the rows that have b...

I'm trying to efficiently construct a binary suffix code for a given set of characters with their probabilities (i.e. a set of words none of which is a suffix of any other). My basic idea is to c...

I am told that Huffman coding is used as loseless data compression algorithm, but I am also told that real data compress software do not employ Huffman coding, because if the keys are not distribut...

I just finished creating a huffman compression algorithm . I converted my compressed text from a string to a byte array with bytearray(). Im attempting to decompress my huffman algorithm. My only c...

This question is in regards to section 3.2.7 of RFC-1951, rebuilding the dynamic Huffman tree. Each code is defined by a sequence of code lengths, such that all codes of a given bit length have l...

I created a Python script to compress text by using the Huffman algorithm. Say I have the following string: string = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' Running my algorithm returns th...

I'm trying to implement a deflate compressor and I have to decide whether to compress a block using the static huffman code or create a dynamic one. What is the rationale behind the length associa...

I need to be able to search for text in a large number of files (.txt) that are zipped. Compression may be changed to something else or even became proprietary. I want to avoid unpacking all files ...

Im thinking to use the Huffman coding to make an app that takes pictures right from the iPhone camera and compress it. Would it be possible for the hardware to handle the complex computation and bu...

It has come to my attention that there is no builtin structure for a single bit in C. There is (unsigned) char and int, which are 8 bits (one byte), and long which is 64+ bits, and so on (uint64_t,...

Section "3.2.7. Compression with dynamic Huffman codes (BTYPE=10)" of https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt describes encoding of dynamic Huffman tree used during compression. What is the maximum si...

For my assignment, I am to do a encode and decode for huffman trees. I have a problem creating my tree, and I am stuck. Don't mind the print statements - they are just for me to test and see what ...

I'm trying to implement Huffman coding by saving letters and their corresponding values into a map then inserting the map into a priority queue. I am getting a parameter conversion error when I try...

Binary trees (and hence ordered forests) can be represented as binary strings. The binary string is obtained by traversing a binary tree in preorder, recording a 1 for every node and a 0 for every ...

Hello I am trying to implement Canonical huffman encoding but i dont understand wiki and google guides, I need explain more abstractly... I tried this: 1. Get list of regular huffman encoding leng...

My friend told me it existed but I could never find it, not sure if he was lying but I'm very interested as to how the proof works. (Yes, I'm one of those people who found out about Huffman coding ...

I am writing a Huffman file where I am storing the code lengths of the canonical codes in the header of the file. And during decoding, I am able to regenerate the canonical codes and store them int...

I am wondering about what is the best way to handle the last byte in Huffman Copression. I have some nice code in C++, that can compress text files very well, but currently I must write to my coded...

I'm thinking of using a Huffman code to compress text, but with symbols of variable length (strings). For example (using an underscore as a space): huffman-code | symbol --------------------------...

Can someone help me figure out where I'm getting this error. I know it's probably a double deletion or something like this. For the background this is an implementation of the huffman's tree as you...

I have an assignment for coding a Huffman algorithm. I have the whole problem organized in my head, but I'm having some trouble with file handling. The problem is: the algorithm is supposed ...
