Variable-Length Coding
Variable-Length Coding
is a method of
encoding data
where different symbols are assigned codes of
varying lengths
, optimizing the representation based on
symbol frequency
to achieve
data compression
. This technique reduces the
average code length
compared to
fixed-length coding
by using
shorter codes
for
more frequent symbols
and
longer codes
for
less frequent ones
.
