Huffman Algorithm built on python

Notes

This program was built on python 3.12.

The program works as expected, transforming text into a "compressed" state. However, due to the nature the files are stored (.txt format), they are not actually smaller. The algorithm still works, and does its intended purpose.

How to use

Compression

1. Add the text that will be compressed inside the /files/decompressed.txt file.
2. Run main.py and choose option 0
3. The resulting compression will be inside /files/compressed.txt.

Decompression

1. Add the text that will be decompressed inside the /files/compressed.txt file.
2. Run main.py and choose option 1
3. The resulting decompression will be inside /files/decompressed.txt.
