See this article (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Huffman_codes) for a quick explanation and some examples.

From the article:

One way you might approach this problem is to start with a list of fax machines and go through it, removing machines that don't support the request. After that, the only machines left in the list...

It's not okay to have that exception. My "Please Advise" is that you post code so we can at least see what you're trying to do.

Unless you're loading large amounts of data into memory (i.e. more...

Another way to approach your switch statement is to convert the string to a number first, then use the number in the switch. The Integer class...
