Question
Suppose we want an error-correcting code that will allow all single-bit errors to be corrected for
memory words of length 10.
a. How many parity bits are necessary?
b. Assuming we are using the Hamming algorithm presented in this chapter to design our
error-correcting code and an odd parity , find the code word to present the 10-bit
information word:
1 00 1 1 00 1 1 1
We now receive the following code word:
C.
10 10 1 1 0 0 0 0 10 1 1
Is this a legal code word, assuming an odd parity? If not, what is the corrected code
word? (Which bit is the error bit?)
