A greedy merging procedure builds an optimal binary prefix code for given symbol probabilities.
Source coding represents messages efficiently, with entropy constraining lossless average code length.
Conditional entropy averages remaining uncertainty after another variable is observed.
Minimum distance d permits correcting up to floor((d-1)/2) arbitrary symbol errors.
Hamming distance counts differing positions between equal-length strings.
