Hamming Codes are used for detecting multiple errors in a transmitted code. It can trace missing parts of a code that may have been lost through transmission and it can also tell you if an error has occurred in any bit of the code using Modulo Tow Arithmetic.

How hamming codes works?

Hamming code is a linear error-correcting code named after its inventor, Richard Hamming. Hamming codes can detect and correct single-bit errors, and can detect (but not correct) double-bit errors. In other words, the Hamming distance between the transmitted and received code-words must be zero or one for reliable communication.


How can hamming code be used to correct burst errors?

Hamming code is only used for single bit error :/


Calculate hamming code between 1000110 and 1110100?

hamming code between 1000110 and 1110100 can be calculated by just exoring both codes with each other as follow: 1000110 1110100 ------------ 0110010 now by counting the ones in the result that gives 3 then hamming dictance = 3
