Hamming Code - Simply Explained

Hamming Code Simply Explained ( Tutorial Video ) Calculating the Hamming Code: The key to the Hamming Code is the use of extra parity bits to allow the identification of a single error. Create the code word as follows: 1. Mark all bit positions that are powers of two as parity bits. (positions 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc.) 2. All other bit positions are for the data to be encoded. (positions 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, etc.) 3. Each parity bit calculates the parity for some of the bit
