Implementing Huffman Coding and Optimal Merge Patterns
Weighted Path Length Calculation
The weighted path length (WPL) of a binary tree is defined as the sum of the products of each leaf node's weight and its depth. To minimize the WPL, we construct a Huffman tree. The most efficient approach ivnolves using a min-priority queue to repeatedly merge the two smallest weights:
#include <queue>
#i ...
