Huffman tree is a type of tree that stores a elements that are accessed with an uneven distribution. Some elements are more frequently accessed than others and are therefore less expensive to retreive.

new HuffmanTree(comparator) Create a new Huffman Tree given a comprator.

add(element, code) Given an element and a bit string, add a node in the tree for the element such that the tree can be traversed using the bit string as a sequence of edges.

decode(code) Given a bit string, retrieve the element in the tree it corresponds to.
