Hamming Code is yet another error detection and correction code. In this code, the parity bits are added to increase the Hamming distance between the valid code words. Here, the parity bits are arranged in a way that different error…

What are Code Words in case of Error Detection and Correction
A system that uses error-detecting code generates, transmits, and stores data in the form of code words. So, the correct data must be a valid code word. It is expected that the presence of an error in a data bit…
Hamming Distance
Hamming distance between two bit-strings of equal length is the number of bit positions at which they are different. In other words, Hamming distance is the number of mismatches at the same bit position between two same-length words. For example:…
