Professor Gig A. Byte needs to store text made up of the characters A with frequency 6, B with frequency 2, C with frequency 3, D with frequency 2, and E with frequency 8. Professor Byte suggests using the variable length codes: Character Code
A 1
B 00
C 01
D 10
E 0
The professor argues that these codes store the text in less space than that used by an optimal Huffman code. Is the professor correct?

This is not true

Explanation:

The optimal Huffman code is used to encrypt and compress text files. It uses fixed-length code or variable-length code for encryption and compression of data.

The professor's character code is similar to Huffman's variable-length coding which uses variable length od binary digits to represent the word strings. The file size of the text file above is;

= 6 x 1 + 2 x 2 + 3 x 2 + 2 x 2 + 8 x 1 = 28 bits

This would be the same for both cases.

The encrypt would be the problem as the encoded and decoding of the characters B and E may cause an error.
