Let’s Code: Hamming Distance Operations on Hamming Distance Conclusion Master the art of computer programming through our YouTube video on What is Hamming Distance? By definition, Hamming distance is a metric in information theory that is used for comparing two binary data strings of equal length...
Hamming code is relatively simple to use and can be implemented inhardware. This also means that it is fast to compute. These properties make it perfect for use in error correcting computermemorysince it is possible for computer RAM to have an error or bit flip from radiation or cosmic rays...
This is equivalent to adding columns to the parity check matrix of a traditional array code. The total number of rows of an array code, [n ? k], is unchanged. The increase in rate is significant for short code lengths. For a code length n = 42 (that corresponds to m = 7) the ...
Figure 2. Codeword. The redundant bits used by HCs are parity bits, which can be of two different types: even and odd. For even parity bits, the number of ones is counted in a set of bits; if the count is odd, the parity bit takes the value of one, and if the count is alre...
