# Huffman Coding # | |
The Huffman coding algorithm will be used for lossless compression in this project. For more information a reference to wikipedia is given [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding). The project will consist of three parts: | |
1. Creating a class to handle text parsing and character frequency analysis given a file. The output will be a file with the frequencies | |
2. Creating the huffman tree given the frequency file. | |
3. Compressing a file using the huffman tree |
