In that algorithm, the leaf nodes are * initialized and inserted into the minheap with the frequency as the key. * Repeatedly, the top two nodes (nodes with the lowest frequency) are taken out * of the heap and made the children of a new node that has a frequency equal to * the sum of the two frequencies of its children. This new node is inserted * into the heap. When all the nodes have been removed from the heap, what * remains is the Huffman tree. The Huffman code for a symbol is given by the * path to it in the tree, where each left pointer is mapped to a 0 bit and each * right pointer is mapped to a 1 bit. * * The algorithm used here uses an optimization that removes the need to * actually use a heap. The leaf nodes are first sorted by frequency, as * opposed to being made into a heap. Note that this sorting step takes O(n log * n) time vs. O(n) time for heapifying the array, where n is the number of * symbols. However, the heapless method is probably faster overall, due to the * time saved later. In the heapless method, whenever an intermediate node is * created, it is not inserted into the sorted array. Instead, the intermediate * nodes are kept in a separate array, which is easily kept sorted because every * time an intermediate node is initialized, it will have a frequency at least * as high as that of the previous intermediate node that was initialized. So * whenever we want the 2 nodes, leaf or intermediate, that have the lowest * frequency, we check the low-frequency ends of both arrays, which is an O(1) * operation. * * The function builds a canonical Huffman code, not just any Huffman code. A * Huffman code is canonical if the codeword for each symbol numerically * precedes the codeword for all other symbols of the same length that are * numbered higher than the symbol, and additionally, all shorter codewords, * 0-extended, numerically precede longer codewords. A canonical Huffman code * is useful because it can be reconstructed by only knowing the path lengths in * the tree.
