Compute the Entropy of an entered text string
Version 1.0.0.0 (1.26 KB) by
Cavin Dsouza
Computes the entropy of a user entered string.
To compute Entropy the frequency of occurrence of each character must be found out.
The probability of occurrence of each character can therefore be found out by dividing each character frequency value by the length of the string message.
Using the mathematical definition of Entropy,the entropy of the string can be calculated.
