In this question, you need to test the pseudocode from question five. You will manually simulate the execution of the code step by step until the program completes and outputs the Huffman tree. Please provide the resulting Huffman tree and the corresponding Huffman codes below. As for the representation of the tree, here is an example:            (20)           /    \       (7)            (13)      /   \            /   \    (4)   C(2)   D(6) E(7)    /   \ A(1)  B(3) When generating codes to characters, follow these rules: 1. Traverse the Huffman tree from the root to each leaf node. 2. Assign a ‘0’ for a left edge and a ‘1’ for a right edge. 3. The code for each character is the sequence of bits along the path from the root to its leaf node.

The image below shows an 8-puzzle game where you must transform the given scrambled configuration into the correct placement.  We now need to use A* search to find the optimal game strategy, i.e., to complete the game in the fewest steps possible. In A* search, we must define a heuristic function to compute the heuristic at each step. Therefore, please write the pseudocode to calculate the heuristic at each step(not the pseudocode for A* search, but only the portion that calculates the heuristic). You are free to choose the heuristic function, and you can decide what the input of this function is. Note that the heuristic function must be one we discussed in class, and you should indicate the one you chose at the beginning of your solution.
