Shannonfano elias code, arithmetic code shannon fano elias coding arithmetic code competitive optimality of shannon code generation of random variables dr. The hu man code always has shorter expected length, but there are examples for which a single value is encoded with more bits by a hu man code than it is by a shannon code. A simple example will be used to illustrate the algorithm. Shannon fano is not the best data compression algorithm anyway. The length of an arithmetic code, instead of being fixed relative to the number of symbols being encoded, depends on the statistical frequency with which the source produces each symbol from its alphabet.
