It was devised by its namesake in 1951 and then its dynamic variant was conceived by Faller, while Donald Knuth created a one pass version known as FGK.

A key concept behind its function is the sibling property of binary trees. It begins by arranging a group of symbols in descending order of frequency in which they appear. Then, one repeatedly adds the two lowest probabilities and then re-sorts, until the last sum of the probability of the last two symbols is one. By tracing a path from the root node to the endnodes, we can thus generate new codewords. Widely used in algorithms like zip and jpeg, this is, FTP, what compression scheme?
