I want an example for Huffman encoding and decoding in data compression please

Expert Solution
Step 1

Huffman Coding and Encoding:

  • Huffman code is a type of optimal prefix code used for lossless data compression
  • The output from Huffman's algorithm  is a variable length code table for encoding a source symbol ( a character in a file). The algorithm gets this table  from  probability or frequency of occurrence or weight for each  value in the source symbol.
