Introduction

This version of file encoder and decoder program is based on the Huffman coding method. It explicitly demonstrates the details of the files during the encoding and decoding. The algorithm is encapsulated in a class En_Decode by the standard C++ language. Here is a demonstration project for the class.

Using the code

This class is implemented by standard C++, so it is very easy to use.

1. Create an MFC application program as usual.
2. Add the source file En_Decode.cpp and En_Decode.h to the project.
3. Add the header file to your project by:

   //
   //    #include "En_Decode.h"
   //
   

   Define your own coder object, such as:

   //
   //    En_Decode Coder;
   //
   

4. Use the member function of the class to set the source file name and destination encoded file name, then call Encode() to encode the source file.

   //
   //    Coder.SetInputFileName("C:/test.txt", "txt");
   //    Coder.SetOutputFileName("C:/encoded");
   //    Coder.Encode();
   //
   

In the same way, we can decode the encoded files to exactly the source file.

Contacting the Authors

This is the first time I share my code here. It is done in a hurry, so exception handling is ignored. Any one who is interested in it can enhance it freely, and please let me know about any improvement, thanks!

I am a junior student in Huangzhong University of Science and Technology, China. I am interested in C++ and MFC, and any coding project. I am glad to share my codes here with any one, though it is not that good.

Please contact me via email (zxt0123@163.com).
