    Please and thanks you.Can anyone explain me this question in detail if we use only one tree for different messages.a Huffman tree was designed using frequencies taken from a given message, and for every new message we would have to build a new tree. Imagine instead that we had built one tree to encode all different messages (in English, say). How would you determine what that Huffman tree should look like? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of building...
