Concept
Prefix-free codes are a type of uniquely decodable code in which no codeword is a prefix of any other codeword, ensuring that the encoded message can be decoded unambiguously without the need for delimiters. This property makes them highly efficient for data compression and error-free data transmission, often used in algorithms like Huffman coding.
Concept
Prefix codes are uniquely decodable sets of symbols where no codeword is a prefix of another, allowing for efficient and unambiguous data decoding. They are widely used in data compression algorithms, such as Huffman coding, to minimize the amount of storage or transmission data required.
