⦁    Greedy Algorithms : Huffman Coding
A very big text file contains only the first 8 characters of the alphabet a, b, c, …, h. The frequency of occurrence of each character is given below. Draw diagrams similar to those in Figs 10.13 to 10.19 in the text book (Weiss, pages 456-458) to show how you build a Huffman-coding tree. What would be the length of the Huffman-coded file? What is the compression ratio compared to using 3 bits per character? What is the code for the word bagh?

a :   5000     b :   2000     c : 15000  d : 30000    e : 21000   f : 4000  g : 11000   h : 12000
