huff.py is a compression tool, used compress/decompress files.
This project is an implementation of Huffman encoding and decoding as part of the Huffman Coding Challenge from codingchallenge.fyi. Huffman coding is a lossless data compression algorithm that uses variable-length codes to represent characters based on their frequencies.
- Make sure you have python3 installed (> 3.10)
- To compress a file:
$ ./huff.py compress <input_filepath>-
This will generate a
input_filepath.hufffile. -
To decompress a file: TODO
