How is Huffman coding implemented?

Can you explain how Huffman coding is implemented?

Sure! Huffman coding is implemented using a binary tree. First, you create a frequency table of the characters in the input data.

What happens after creating the frequency table?

Next, you build a priority queue from the frequency table, where each node represents a character and its frequency.

How do you construct the Huffman tree from the priority queue?

You repeatedly remove the two nodes with the lowest frequency from the queue, combine them into a new node, and insert it back into the queue until only one node remains.

And how do you generate the codes for each character?

Once the tree is built, you traverse it to assign binary codes to each character based on their position in the tree.
