Mathematics · Information Theory and Coding
Huffman coding is used to encode a message before transmitting it over a network. Suppose a message contains 130 characters with the following frequency distribution: Character: a (10), b (14), c (17), d (18), e (21), f (50). Assuming each character in the input message takes 1 byte (8 bits), how many bits will be saved in the message if Huffman coding is used for transmission?
