Abstract
According to one embodiment, a variable length coding device includes circuitry. The circuitry determines N code lengths corresponding to respective N symbols, based on a Huffman tree. In a case where the N code lengths include a first code length longer than a maximum code length, the circuitry selects a first symbol corresponding to the first code length from the N symbols, selects, from the N symbols, a second symbol corresponding to a second code length shorter than the maximum code length, changes the second code length corresponding to the second symbol to a code length obtained by adding one to the second code length, and changes the first code length corresponding to the first symbol to a code length equal to the changed second code length.
