Huffman coding

Huffman coding uses a specific method for choosing the representation for each symbol, resulting in a prefix code that expresses the most common source symbols using shorter strings of bits than are used for less common source symbols. (Wikipedia)

First project, rules from school

This was my first project in my first year of engineering school (2010).

1. The language was imposed : java
2. We must write our own structures : the tree and the list
3. We must have an IHM

Moreover I used only French for this project.

Use

javac Ihm.java    
java Ihm

Put the file name to compress in the text box without any extension.

Notes

When I realized this project I don't know git and github. Therefore I have just one big commit for all the source code.
