Makes sense. I remember asking myself whether Morse was a form of Huffman encoding back when I was learning that stuff. And it kinda is going for that, but without actually doing it properly since it wasn’t a binary code per se and so could use the pauses. “Ternary” makes sense.
Unless I’m mistaken I would say that it’s the other way around, Morse code is more like a human readable machine language expressed in binary because the 26 character alphabet is expressed in different binary values, much like ASCII.
Binary is just morse in Mashine readable Form.
I was gonna say “like, kind of” because of Morse code.
Ya beat me to it bro
Not really, Morse code is not binary, but tertiary.
I’m guessing you’re saying that because of the pauses? Otherwise I don’t get it.
Yes, the space is a necessary symbol in Morse code, otherwise it’s impossible to decode.

Right, Morse was actually mentioned as an example when I was learning Huffman encoding. :)
