Prefix Codes are coding methods where no codeword is the starting part of another codeword.
This special property helps the receiver decode data instantly without waiting.
It completely avoids confusion and ambiguity during decoding.
Prefix Codes are an important concept in information theory, proposed by Claude Shannon.
Popular compression techniques like Huffman coding are based on prefix codes.
These codes are widely used in data compression, communication systems, and multimedia applications.
