Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression

Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression is a DSA topic. In plain words you use it for a short Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression example in a short dry-run on paper. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: the smallest Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression example you can type. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression.

From the example next to this theory — Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression: dry-run [4, 1, 3].

Trap: only saying “Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression” with no example. Fix that before you talk about advanced DSA.

Viva: what is Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression? Then show the smallest Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression example you can type. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression? Show this: the smallest Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression example you can type. Trap: only saying “Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression” with no example.

Example

# Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression
data = [4, 1, 3]
print("start", data)
if data[0] > data[1]:
    data[0], data[1] = data[1], data[0]
print("after one step", data)

Shannon-Fano Algorithm for Data Compression: dry-run [4, 1, 3]. Say the list after one step.
