## Makefile / Compiling
I have spent some time building a makefile. You can compile all source code using `make`.
This will also generate some smaller testfiles for use with the Huffman implementation. In case you want to
try Huffman with some bigger files, you can make your own or do `make big` to autogenerate the bigger files aswell.
### Note: ### Note:
`scanf()` is not inherently unsafe, but must be handled very careful and isn't recommended by most, so i have `scanf()` is not inherently unsafe, but must be handled very careful and isn't recommended by most, so i have
