Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a character set with a range of frequencies, design a Huffman tree and encode the characters. Use frequencies A=0.12, B=0.22, C=0.38, D=0.08.
💡 Hint: Remember to track your frequencies carefully at every merging step.
Explain how changing frequencies affects Huffman coding. For instance, what if frequency D was reduced to 0.04 instead of 0.08?
💡 Hint: Think about how the minimum values shift with different frequencies.
