5 Prefix codes Char Freq Symbol A 70 0 B C D variable length symbols avoiding ambiguous bitstreams: what is 001?

6 Prefix codes Char Freq Symbol A 70 0 B C D variable length symbols avoiding ambiguous bitstreams: what is 001? no symbol should be a prefix of another.

7 Prefix codes Char Freq Symbol A 70 0 B C D variable length symbols avoiding ambiguous bitstreams: what is 001? no symbol should be a prefix of another. if A is 0, what is D?
