Huffman

The ./testfiles folder is ignored through gitignore, as it might contain large files. Use the following command to populate it or create your own testfiles.

dd if=/dev/urandom of=10K-random.img count=1K

dd if=/dev/urandom of=10K-random.img count=1M

dd if=/dev/urandom of=10K-random.img count=1G

...

Files with random bytes won't be able to be compressed by much, that is normal. Instead, try something like a text file (or any other file with lower entropy), the LICENSE in the root of this repository for example.
