Huffman Example

The document provides an example of Huffman coding using the message 'abracadabra' with character frequencies and a corresponding Huffman tree. It includes the encoded text, calculates the compression ratio, and demonstrates decoding a binary string using the same codewords table. The final decoded output of the binary string is 'raacaadbbab'.

Huffman Example
1. Encode the following message using Huffman code and calculate the compression ratio:

abracadabra
Probability Model:

Character Frequency
a 5
b 2
c 1
d 1
r 2

Huffman Tree:

11
0 1

5 6
0 1
a
2 4
0 1
b
2 2
0 1
r
1 1

c d

1
Codewords Table:

Character Codeword
a 0
b 10
c 1110
d 1111
r 110

Encoded Text: 0 10 110 0 1110 0 1111 0 10 110 0


a b r a c a d a b r a

𝑼𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 (# 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔) 𝟏𝟏 × 𝟖 𝟖𝟖
𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐 = = = = 𝟑. 𝟖𝟐𝟔
𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 (# 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔) 𝟐𝟑 𝟐𝟑

2. Using the same codewords table from the previous example decode:

1100011100011111010010

For decoding, you may use the table to look for the corresponding character for the code,
or you may directly use the Huffman tree (if given).

1100011100011111010010
1 not in the table

1100011100011111010010
11 also not in the table

1100011100011111010010
110 -> r (from the table)
Output: r

1100011100011111010010
0 -> a
Output: ra

1100011100011111010010
0 -> a
Output: raa

1100011100011111010010
1 not in the table

1100011100011111010010
11 not in the table

1100011100011111010010
111 not in the table

2
1100011100011111010010
1110 -> c
Output: raac

1100011100011111010010
0 -> a
Output: raaca

1100011100011111010010
0 -> a
Output: raacaa

1100011100011111010010
1111 -> d
Output: raacaad

1100011100011111010010
Output: raacaadb

1100011100011111010010
Output: raacaadbb

1100011100011111010010
Output: raacaadbba

1100011100011111010010
Output: raacaadbbab

Decoded: raacaadbbab
