This document discusses different sorting algorithms and their applications. It introduces Huffman compression, which is used in multimedia streaming to reduce resources, and Kruskal's and Prim's algorithms, which are used in graphing problems like laying cable networks. Specific applications of these algorithms mentioned include JPEG, PNG, MP3, and ZIP files for Huffman compression, and networking for the graphing algorithms.
4. Examples
? Compression is useful because it helps reduce
the consumption of expensive resources, such as
disk space or transmission bandwidth
? Graphing would be useful for a cable TV
company laying cable to a new neighborhood.
5. Other Applications
? Huffman compression
? JPEG, PNG
? MP3
? ZIP Files
? Kruskal¡¯s and Prim's algorithms
? networking
