Description

Somewhat difficult-to-understand visualization of constructing a Huffman tree from frequencies. There is a bug related to floating point display, which makes the screen difficult to read.

Evaluation

Extremely difficult to follow what is going on. At each step, you see which next two values are merged together. But the display doesn't show a tree, so it is hard to understand from the display how a tree would actually look. After all of the joins are made, codes are assigned. Again, it is hard to see why a given item gets a given code.
