Huffman Tree

Huffman Tree is a super handy Java-based tool that makes it easy to create a Huffman Tree for any string you throw at it. Whether you're typing in some text or uploading a file (though the browser might block that when running as an applet), this software gets the job done!

Creating Your Huffman Tree

When you input your string, the magic happens! The program generates a Huffman tree. This tree gives you a unique, varying-length binary code for each character in your string, which means you can pack your data efficiently.

Understanding the Output

Your finished Huffman tree will be displayed right in front of you. Plus, there's a helpful table that shows each character from your string along with its original encoding in hexadecimal format. This is great for spotting any non-printing characters! You'll also see the binary Huffman code and how many times each character appears.

The Mechanics of Huffman Coding

The cool part about the Huffman code is how it works. It shows the path from the top of the tree down to where each character is found. In this case, a 0 means you're going left and a 1 means you're heading right.
