DataTransfer

A compressing, error correcting data transfer protocall I made for a class. I implemented Huffman coding and Hamming codes. Here's the original assignment description:

For an end-of-semester project, implement a quasi-real data transmission consisting of (compression, error encoding, error simulation,corrected, uncompressed) pipeline. More specifically,

I)   start an ascii text file       original.txt      

II)  compress it to                 compressed.xxx  |
                                                    | prepare 
III) error-correct encode to        encoded.yyy     |

IV)  simulate transmission errors   transmitted.yyy
    by flipping random bits with
    probability e. (For a really
    good time, you could put in
    burst errors or malicious errors.)

V)   correct errors                 decoded.xxx     |
                                                    | restore
VI)  uncompress                     final.txt       |
