Huffman-Compression

A Huffman encoding visualizer is a tool that helps users
understand the process of assigning variable-length codes to different characters in a message, with the
goal of minimizing the total number of bits required to represent the message while preserving its content, and
is useful for computer science students and anyone interested in digital communication.
