Solution

The second set { 0, 10, 110, 1110, 1111 } is a prefix code. In this set, no code word is a prefix of another code word.

Here's how you can verify this:

  • Look at the first code word '0'. No other code word in the set starts with '0', so '0' is not a prefix of any other code word.
  • Next, look at the second code word '10'. No other code word in the set starts with '10', so '10' is not a prefix of any other code word.
  • Continue this process for the remaining code words '110', '1110', and '1111'. You'll find that none of them are prefixes of any other code words in the set.

Therefore, the set { 0, 10, 110, 1110, 1111 } is a prefix code.

Q1. As discussed in the first assignment, it can be helpful to study the probability oferrors and therefore it is useful to know the cardinalities of sets of words and validcodewords — this is where combinatorics comes in.(a) In Question 3 of Assignment 1, it was stated that the set of all bit strings oflength four has 16 elements and the set of all bit strings of length 12 has4096. Justify these cardinalities.2 marks(b) Suppose that a code is made up six digits from the range 0–9 (inclusive)and satisfies the rules:• The first three digits must be odd (and non-zero).• No number is repeated in the first five digits.• The sixth digit is the remainder of the sum of the first five digits dividedby 10.i.
