16. Greedy Algorithm (Huffman code)

Question 1 of 9

1

What is the greedy algorithm(the 3 steps) to create an encoding tree to compress files?

Select one of the following:

  • 1. Assign each character to a node (making each a tree) and assign the frequency of the
    character as a weight.
    2. Combine the two trees with the smallest weights as children into a new tree. Assign the
    weight of the new tree to the sum of the weights of it's children.
    3. Repeat step 2 until all trees are combined.

  • none

1

What are the two major parts of Huffman Coding?

Select one of the following:

  • A. Deconstruct a Huffman tree from input characters and invert the Huffman Tree's codes

  • B. Build a Huffman tree from input characters and traverse the Huffman Tree and assign codes to characters

  • C. Build a Huffman tree from output characters and traverse the Huffman Tree and assign codes to specific lines

  • D. Deconstruct a Huffman tree from input characters and remove the Huffman Tree and assign codes

  • D. Only B and C

  • E. A and B and C
