Coding Theory: A Playful Introduction

Automated excerpt

A message is made up of symbols (letters in our case) and an encoded message is made up of codewords (\(\#\)blinks in our case). Using this table, \(\textrm{I LOVE CODING THEORY}\) is shortened to \(138\) blinks, a whopping \(33\%\) reduction! Here, our message $\textrm{I LOVE}$ is encoded using Huffman Code ($26$ symbols sent in $13$ seconds).
