Comma-free codes are a type of prefix code used in information theory and coding theory. They are designed to transmit sequences of symbols without ambiguity in decoding. The main characteristic of a comma-free code is that no two codewords can overlap when concatenated with a separator (often referred to as a comma) between them. ### Properties of Comma-free Codes: 1. **Prefix Condition**: In a comma-free code, no codeword can be a prefix of another codeword.
