This C program implements the Huffman coding algorithm, a widely used method for data compression. It demonstrates the creation of Huffman trees and the encoding and decoding processes to compress and decompress text data.
- Implementation of Huffman trees.
- Functions for initializing, manipulating, and traversing Huffman trees and lists.
- Data compression and decompression using Huffman coding.
To compile and run this program, you need a C compiler such as GCC installed on your system.
To compile the program, navigate to the directory containing Huffman.c
and run the following command in your terminal:
gcc Huffman.c -o Huffman
This will generate an executable named Huffman
.
After compilation, you can run the program using:
./Huffman
Please note that the current version of the program may require modifications to add specific functionality for reading input data and displaying or saving the compressed and decompressed outputs.
Contributions to improve the implementation or extend the features are welcome. Please feel free to fork the project, make your changes, and submit a pull request.
