Question. No. 1:

Consider the following string saved into a string type variable. We want to send it over the network to another
computer. Use the given string and answer (solve) the questions given below.

String: “Data Structures is one of the core courses of BS(CS) program.”

Note: Double quotes are not the part of string.

a. Build frequency table and Huffman encoding tree. [14 Marks]

Ans Solution (a)

Use the following sample frequency table:
