Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given frequencies A: 0.1, B: 0.4, C: 0.2, D: 0.3, create the Huffman tree and assign binary codes.

💡 Hint: Use the smallest frequencies first and build up.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the ramifications of using a non-greedy approach in Huffman coding. What could go wrong?

💡 Hint: Think about how the encoding quality could degrade.
