Given n+1 symbols x1,x2,...,xn,xn+1 appearing 1, f1,f2,...,fn times in a symbol string, respectively, where fj is the jth Fibonacci number, what is the maximum number of bits used to encode a symbol when all possible tie-breaking selections are considered at each stage of the Huffman coding algorithm?
in this question i take n=6
the the number of symbols should be n+1 i.e 7 (in this case ansewr is 8)or n i.e 6( in this case answer is 6)???
