Explain Instantaneous Variable Length Codes.?

1.	Explain Instantaneous Variable Length Codes.?
Answer» A code that maps SOURCE SYMBOLS into a set of VARIABLE number of bits. A VL code compresses the sources and decompresses with zero error. By implementing a right coding strategy, an identically distributed source MIGHT be compressed almost CLOSE to its entropy. This process is in contrast to fixed length coding methods. Examples of variable-length codes are Huffman coding, LempelZiv code.
