Huffman Trees for Data Compression

Data Compression is a one of the most renowned branches of the Computer Science. Over the years, a lot of research has been done in this field to compress data into numerous ways and many standards have been developed. Data Compression can be defined as reducing the amount of storage space required to store given amount of data. Data compression comes with lots of advantages, it saves storage space, bandwidth, cost and TIME required to transmit data from one place to another. In this article we will throw light on Huffman Coding for data compression.
