b. Calculate how many bits will be used for the above string:

 Without using any encoding technique?

ANSWER:

Number of bits without any coding technique =61*8=488 bits

 With Huffman encoding technique ?

Answer:

Number of bits by using Huffman encoding technique =267 bits

 What percentage of bits is saved by Huffman encoding scheme?

Answer:

Percentage=((488-267)/488)*100=45.28%
