You will create a multithreaded Shannon-Fano-Elias encoder

For this assignment, you will create a multithreaded
Shannon-Fano-Elias encoder
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon—Fano-Elias_coding).

To determine the codes for the symbols using
the Shannon-Fano-Elias encoder, you must execute the
following steps:

1. Arrange the symbols according to decreasing
probabilities.

. Calculate cumulative probability.

. Calculate modified cumulative distribution function.

. Find the length of the code.

. Generate the code word by finding the binary of
Fbar(x) with respect to length I(x).

Given the symbols with their probabilities (sorted in
decreasing order based on the probability value), you need
to implement the Shannon-Fano-Elias encoding algorithm
based on the following steps:

o Read the input from STDIN (the Moodle server will
implement input redirection to send the information
from a file to STDIN). The format of the input file is as
follows:

– A string representing the symbols. A single
character represents each symbol, and a single white
space separates the symbols.

– A list of double values representing the
probabilities of the symbols

The symbols from the input are sorted (in decreasing
order) based on their probabilities.
