Hamming(7,4)
In coding theory, Hamming(7,4) is a linear code, linear error-correcting code that encodes four bits of data into seven bits by adding three parity bits. It is a member of a larger family of Hamming codes, but the term ''Hamming code'' often re ...
, in coding theory, a linear error-correcting code

Hamming code
In computer science and telecommunications, Hamming codes are a family of linear error-correcting codes. Hamming codes can detect one-bit and two-bit errors, or correct one-bit errors without detection of uncorrected errors. By contrast, the ...

Hamming distance
In information theory, the Hamming distance between two String (computer science), strings or vectors of equal length is the number of positions at which the corresponding symbols are different. In other words, it measures the minimum number ...

Hamming weight
The Hamming weight of a string (computer science), string is the number of symbols that are different from the zero-symbol of the alphabet used. It is thus equivalent to the Hamming distance from the all-zero string of the same length. For the mo ...
