About The Project

A project made to learn and implement the Huffman Algorithm and lossless compression.

Allowed for greater understanding of binary trees and their traversal via recursion.

Skills Developed

• Understanding of binary tree traversals
  • Post-Order
  • Pre-Order
• Usage of the huffman algorithm
• Compression and decompression of bits through lossless compression

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/karanvirheer/File-Compressor.git

Usage

To compress your files up to 53% of their original size. Allows for files to be decompressed back to original size.
