In 1953, David A. Huffman published his paper “A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes”, and hence printed his name in the history of computer science. As a professor who gives the final exam problem on Huffman codes, I am encountering a big problem: the Huffman codes are NOT unique. For example, given a string “aaaxuaxz”, we can observe that the frequencies of the characters ‘a’, ‘x’, ‘u’ and ‘z’ are 4, 2, 1 and 1, respectively. We may either encode the symbols as {‘a’=0, ‘x’=10, ‘u’=110, ‘z’=111}, or in another way as {‘a’=1, ‘x’=01, ‘u’=001, ‘z’=000}, both compress the string into 14 bits. Another set of code can be given as {‘a’=0, ‘x’=11, ‘u’=100, ‘z’=101}, but {‘a’=0, ‘x’=01, ‘u’=011, ‘z’=001} is NOT correct since “aaaxuaxz” and “aazuaxax” can both be decoded from the code 00001011001001. The students are submitting all kinds of codes, and I need a computer program to help me determine which ones are correct and which ones are not.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line gives an integer N (2≤N≤63), then followed by a line that contains all the N distinct characters and their frequencies in the following format:
c[1] f[1] c[2] f[2] … c[N] f[N]
where c[i] is a character chosen from {‘0’ - ‘9’, ‘a’ - ‘z’, ‘A’ - ‘Z’, ‘_’}, and f[i] is the frequency of c[i] and is an integer no more than 1000. The next line gives a positive integer M (≤1000), then followed by M student submissions. Each student submission consists of N lines, each in the format:
c[i] code[i]
where c[i] is the i-th character and code[i] is an non-empty string of no more than 63 '0’s and '1’s.
Output Specification:
For each test case, print in each line either “Yes” if the student’s submission is correct, or “No” if not.
Note: The optimal solution is not necessarily generated by Huffman algorithm. Any prefix code with code length being optimal is considered correct.

这题主要考察了对哈夫曼树和堆的知识。
1.包括用堆构造哈夫曼树,堆的建立,插入与删除,其中堆的建立有两种方式,包括插入建立,也包括对已有的数据结构进行调整建立。
2.包括了哈夫曼树的建立,求哈夫曼树的权重,判断输入的二进制编码能否构成合理的哈夫曼树(这是一个难点)。
3.这里使用的是用堆的方式构造哈夫曼树。
4.也有其他方式构造哈夫曼树。如下代码。
代码量略微有点偏大。
1)首先,这里总结一下堆的使用,包括堆的建立,插入,散出以及堆的调整。
一.创建最小堆,以及最小堆的插入操作:
const int MaxSize = 1001;
const int MinData = -10001;
typedef int ElemType;
typedef struct HeapStruct
{
int* elements;
int size;
int capacity;
}HeapStruct;
typedef struct HeapStruct* MinHeap;
//创建最小堆
MinHeap CreateHeap()
{
MinHeap H = new HeapStruct;
H->elements = new ElemType[MaxSize];//
H->size = 0;
H->capacity = MaxSize;
H->elements[0] = MinData;
return H;
}
//往最小堆中插入元素
void Insert(MinHeap& H, ElemType item)//主要这里面的引用
{
int i;
if (H->size >=H->capacity)
{
cout << "最小堆已满";
return;
}
i = ++H->size;
for (;H->elements[i / 2] > item;i /=2)
{
H->elements[i] = H->elements[i / 2];
}
H->elements[i] = item;
}
二.创建最大堆,以及最大堆的插入与删除操作。因为创建和插入与最小堆差不多,这里只写删除操作。
ElementType DeleteMax( MaxHeap H )
{
/* 从最大堆H中取出键值为最大的元素,并删除一个结点 */
int Parent, Child;
ElementType MaxItem, X;
if ( IsEmpty(H) ) {
printf("最大堆已为空");
return ERROR;
}
MaxItem = H->Data[1]; /* 取出根结点存放的最大值 */
/* 用最大堆中最后一个元素从根结点开始向上过滤下层结点 */
X = H->Data[H->Size--]; /* 注意当前堆的规模要减小 */
for( Parent=1; Parent*2<=H->Size; Parent=Child ) {
Child = Parent * 2;
if( (Child!=H->Size) && (H->Data[Child]<H->Data[Child+1]) )
Child++; /* Child指向左右子结点的较大者 */
if( X >= H->Data[Child] ) break; /* 找到了合适位置 */
else
