In this project, we implement the Huffman Coding algorithm. For
further details, please view the NOWEB generated documentation huffman.pdf.
##Source code
This repository contains the following source code and data files:
huffman.c- A C programming language implementation.message.txt- A small text message file for testing.huffman.pdf- Documentation of the implementation.Makefile- For compiling the source.
##Usage
To run the algorithm on the supplied example data, first compile
$ make
and then run the program:
$ ./huffman encode message.txt encoded.dat
$ ./huffman decode encoded.dat decoded.txt
$ diff decoded.txt message.txt
