COMPRESSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The basic idea behind Huffman coding is to
A
compress data by using fewer bits to encode fewer frequently occuring characters
B
compress data by using fewer bits to encode more frequently occuring characters
C
compress data by using more bits to encode more frequently occuring characters
D
expand data by using fewer bits to encode more frequently occuring characters
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Huffman coding is a form of lossless compression which makes files smaller using the frequency with which characters appear in a message. This works particularly well when characters appear multiple times in a string as these can then be represented using fewer bits . This reduces the overall size of a file.
