# 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 | ||
2. Creating the huffman tree given the frequency | ||
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 |
