Talk:Truncated binary encoding

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 208.65.181.109 (talk) at 09:58, 13 December 2006 (Handled a long-standing requested change/expansion, removing request.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Shouldn't the page either

  • define n as the size of the alphabet (e.g. for 0 through 4, n = 5, not 4), or
  • say that binary codes are optimal when n (as defined currently, the highest number) is one less than a power of two?

Yes! Thanks for pointing this out. (Sorry about the delay... I wish wikipedia emailed me these things!) I chose the first option.
