Question: Construct a Huffman tree for a file that contains a single string dsa is dsa. Use the following constraints when building the tree: the node

Construct a Huffman tree for a file that contains a single string "dsa is dsa". Use the following constraints when building the tree:
the node with a lower frequency is attached to the left in case two nodes are merged after extraction from the priority queue;
if two nodes have the same priority when merging and when ordering, then the nodes are resolved as follows:
if both nodes have letters (a.k.a. leaf nodes) then the letter with lower ascii value will be the left node when combining two nodes into a tree, or have the higher priority in a heap. Ascii value of space is 32, a is 97, d is 100, i is 105 and s is 115.
if one or both nodes have cumulative frequencies, then the node with the larger subtree will be attached to the right, or be prioritized after the smaller tree in a heap.
For instance, when comparing a leaf node (character) with a cumulative frequency, the leaf would be prioritized in a heap and be merged on the left side (with the cumulative node on the right).
if one or both nodes have cumulative frequencies, and each of the trees have the same number of nodes, then you can merge them in any order.
traversing left from a node appends 'O' to the Huffman code and traversing right appends '1.
Decode the following Huffman code using the tree: 01000111111010
