HELP! PROJECT 1

[Johnny Vaquiz]

This question is regarding Alogrithm A in Vitters paper. Does the Algortithm
get the bit code for the letter first and then Update or does it Update
first and then get the bit code for that specific letter? I am finding it
terribly difficult to do question number one with the Update beign done
first. Please provide some input anyone. Thanks

It get the current bit code using the previous tree (or the tree that you
have before you update). If you are adding a new character, it gets the
encoding from going to the phi node. Hope that helps
