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]

 Use the following sample frequency table:

Character
Frequency
Number of
Bits used
without
any
encoding

Huffman
code of
each
character
Number of
Bits used
with
Huffman
encoding

b. Calculate how many bits will be used for the above string: [6 Marks]
 Without using any encoding technique
 With Huffman encoding technique
 What percentage of bits is saved by Huffman encoding scheme?

Wish you Best of Luck!
