Line 46: In doing so, Huffman outdid Fano, who had worked with [[Claude Shannon]] to develop a similar code. Building the tree from the bottom up guaranteed optimality, unlike the top-down approach of [[Shannon–Fano coding]]. kos nnton ~~== Terminology ==~~ Huffman coding uses a specific method for choosing the representation for each symbol, resulting in a [[prefix code]] (sometimes called "prefix-free codes", that is, the bit string representing some particular symbol is never a prefix of the bit string representing any other symbol). Huffman coding is such a widespread method for creating prefix codes that the term "Huffman code" is widely used as a synonym for "prefix code" even when such a code is not produced by Huffman's algorithm. == Problem definition ==
