IHuffConstants

```
public interface IHuffConstants
```
Global constants used in Huff/Unhuff. Clients needing these values should implement this interface or access the values directly, e.g., as IHuffConstants.BITS_PER_WORD. However, implementing the interface is preferred in which case the values can be accessed simply as BITS_PER_WORD, for example.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`static int`	`ALPH_SIZE` The size of the alphabet given the number of bits per chunk, this should be 2^BITS_PER_WORD.
`static int`	`BITS_PER_INT` The standard number of bits needed to represent/store an int, this is 32 in Java and many other languages.
`static int`	`BITS_PER_WORD` The standard number of bits per chunk/word when huffing.
`static int`	`MAGIC_NUMBER` Isolate the magic numbers in one place.
`static int`	`PSEUDO_EOF` The value of the PSEUDO_EOF character.
`static int`	`STORE_COUNTS` A value in files compressed with a HuffProcessor indicating the code values are stored in Standard Count Format.
`static int`	`STORE_CUSTOM` A value in files compressed with a HuffProcessor indicating the code values are stored in a custom format.
`static int`	`STORE_TREE` A value in files compressed with a HuffProcessor indicating the code values are stored in Standard Tree Format.

- Field Detail
  - ALPH_SIZE
```
static final int ALPH_SIZE
```
    The size of the alphabet given the number of bits per chunk, this should be 2^BITS_PER_WORD.

    Constant Field Values
  - BITS_PER_INT
```
static final int BITS_PER_INT
```
    The standard number of bits needed to represent/store an int, this is 32 in Java and many other languages.

    Constant Field Values
  - BITS_PER_WORD
```
static final int BITS_PER_WORD
```
    The standard number of bits per chunk/word when huffing.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - MAGIC_NUMBER
```
static final int MAGIC_NUMBER
```
    Isolate the magic numbers in one place. Files compressed with a HuffProcessor must start with this value.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - PSEUDO_EOF
```
static final int PSEUDO_EOF
```
    The value of the PSEUDO_EOF character. This is one-more than the maximum value of a legal BITS_PER_WORD-bit value.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - STORE_COUNTS
```
static final int STORE_COUNTS
```
    A value in files compressed with a HuffProcessor indicating the code values are stored in Standard Count Format. ALPHA_SIZE ints will follow this constant with the count for each value.

    Constant Field Values
  - STORE_CUSTOM
```
static final int STORE_CUSTOM
```
    A value in files compressed with a HuffProcessor indicating the code values are stored in a custom format. Something besides Standard Count Format or Standard Tree Format.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - STORE_TREE
```
static final int STORE_TREE
```
    A value in files compressed with a HuffProcessor indicating the code values are stored in Standard Tree Format.
