@@abdul_bari Beautiful video, sir. Are you familiar with Sloot encoding? He was able to compress a whole HD movie down to 4 kilobytes losslessly. He had a library of 370Mb, about 70Mb for each kind of data, movies, sound... He was obviously comparing data to data in his library, generating keys of minimal size which could regenerate the original on the remote computer from the same library. Only way this can be done even in theory is if he reduced big chunks of numbers to small mathematical expressions. For example number 302875106592253 can be shortened as 13^13. If numbers related to this one appear often, we can define it as letter a and then just express those other numbers as 2a, 3a etc. Multistage compression would allow for such extreme compression ratio. Exactly how he did it is not clear.

[@ravikiran7781]

i have a query. if we use Fixed size codes or Variable sized codes(huffman), the number bits to be sent for each characters are reduced for sure. While sending the table information, you mentioned character(8bits) + its fixed or variable sized codes( lets 2 bits for example). How can we send just 2 bits ?? I think we need to send the frequencies of each character again so that tree is reconstructed at the receiving end. But again if we send frequencies, in case of the huffman example it will be = 45(message) + 40(ascii characters) + 40(frequency count) = 125. The same is the case with Fixed. Can you please clarify on this? if it has to work the way you mentioned, my assumption is that this whole data A(01000010) A's Huffman(001) followed by B, C, D etc and the orignal data. But i believe we need to have some kind of delimiters between each pair( character, huffman code) and the before the original data.

[@RanjeetKumar-bf4xf]

Hey Ravi, Your doubt is very genuine now read it carefully, Let say you want to send a message above illustrated example in encoded form with the same frequency as told by sir, now, two things you must keep in mind 1. The same person writes the encoding and decoding message. 2. Your objective is to read(encode) the message not to count the occurrence of a letter. --Your first doubt- You want to send the frequency of the letters with character+fixed or variable size code. ----------------You are sending the original table with encoded table with encoded message, the message will tell the length.( How go to second doubt). --Your second doubt is you want a delimiter to identify each encoded bits. ---------------See, when you will construct the tree, it will generate the each encoded bits in such a way that "No Huffman code of given character will be prefix of another Huffman code". Using this you will be able to extract each encoded message without any mistake. For illustration---- In the above given problem A- 001 B-10 C-11 D-01 E-000 Here you can not find a single encoded character which is the prefix in any other encoded character. Hope it will help you.
