Question
Huffman Coding uses a greedy approach to achieve what?
Solution
Huffman Coding is a greedy algorithm that constructs an optimal prefix code (a type of variable-length code) for a given set of characters based on their frequencies. It repeatedly merges the two nodes with the smallest frequencies until a single tree is formed, resulting in the most efficient compression.
