In the field of computer science, data compression is an extremely important tool used in many different types of applications. One way to compress data is to convert the data to binary code, using a shorter code for more frequently used values and a longer code for less frequently used values. Doing so allows you to save larger values in a much smaller space, thus saving you space overall. This is essentially how Huffman Coding works, and how I have implemented data compression in this application. To download the complete source to this project in C++, click here.
