temp->left = temp->right = NULL;
temp->data = data; temp->freq = freq;
return temp;
}

// Skipping utility functions for brevity...

// Logic for Huffman Tree construction and printing codes
// Not fully shown due to space
printf("Huffman Coding is complex and requires heap management.\n");

int L[m+1][n+1];
for (int i=0; i<=m; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<=n; j++) {
if (i==0 || j==0) L[i][j] = 0;
else if (X[i-1]==Y[j-1]) L[i][j] = L[i-1][j-1] + 1;
