In 1950 Bell Labs researcher, Richard W Hamming, made a discovery that would lay an important foundation for the entire modern computing and communications industries. He had invented a code for ...

Several techniques can be used to efficiently implement a Hamming coder for single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection.

Redundant information Error-correcting codes have been around for more than 50 years. They were introduced by Richard Hamming at Bell Labs.
