Question 1

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

Question 7

Question
What are the two major parts of Huffman Coding?
Answer
  • A. Deconstruct a Huffman tree from input characters and invert the Huffman Tree's codes

  • 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

Question 8

Question
When creating a Huffman tree. Which of the following are the three steps needed to remember?
Answer
  • A.Characters are only stored at the leaves
  • B.Traversing to the left child, appends a 0
  • C.Traversing to the right child, appends a 1
  • D. Only B and C
  • E. A and B and C
