Huffman Coding

Huffman Coding is an efficient way to compress data by reducing the amount of space needed to store information. It works by assigning shorter binary codes (series of 0s and 1s) to more frequently used characters, and longer codes to less common ones. This way, when text or data is encoded, it takes up less space, making it faster to transmit or store. The method creates a binary tree based on character frequency, ensuring that the overall size of the resulting data is minimized, which is especially useful in areas like file compression and data transmission.
