Question 1
What does Huffman coding primarily optimize in data transmission?
- Maximizes frequency of symbols
- Minimizes average bits per letter
- Increases binary code length
💡 Hint: Think about the purpose of compressing a message.
Question 2
True or False: In typically fixed-length encoding, all letters are represented by the same number of bits.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Remember how each letter's length is consistent.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Create a Huffman tree for the characters: A, B, C, D, E with frequencies: A=0.5, B=0.25, C=0.15, D=0.05, and E=0.05. Explain the encoding process.
💡 Hint: Start with the smallest frequencies and merge.
Question 2
Explain how combining nodes in a Huffman tree reduces average encoding lengths.
💡 Hint: Consider how many symbols are represented with fewer bits.
