How Computers Compress Text: Huffman Coding and Huffman Trees

发布时间 2017-09-11 15:00:01    来源

摘要

Computers store text (or, at least, English text) as eight bits per character. There are plenty of more efficient ways that could work: so why don't we use them? And how can we fit more text into less space? Let's talk about Huffman coding, Huffman trees, and Will Smith.
