Shannon–Fano–Elias coding is a method of lossless data compression based on the principles of information theory developed by Claude Shannon and refined by others, including Robert Fano and Paul Elias. It is an algorithm that constructs variable-length prefix codes, which are used to encode symbols based on their probabilities. ### Overview of Shannon–Fano–Elias Coding: 1. **Probability Assignment**: Each symbol in the input data is assigned a probability based on its frequency of occurrence.
