File-Zipper

This Project is based on Huffman Coding , a lossless compression Algorithm. It can be used to Compress and Decompress any text files. Huffman coding is a bottom up Greedy Algorithm implemented using concept of Tries.

Implementation in Project:

This Project contains two functions: 1.Encode: Compress input file passed. 2.Decode: Decopress Huffman coded file to its original file.

How to run this project?

Firstly download the Project and then inside the Project folder , you need to make an executable file as follows:

For compressing:

For Decompressing:

Conclusion:

This project is just an implementation of Huffman coding, it is not as efficient as the compression algorithm used currently to compress files. Example: inputFile.txt (42KB) is compressed to compressedFile.huf (25KB) file and decompressed back to ouputFile.txt (42KB) and similar for larger files.
