Hamming (7,4) In coding theory, Hamming (7,4) is a 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 refers to this specific code that Richard W. Hamming introduced in 1950.
The Hamming(7,4) code may be written as a cyclic code over GF(2) with generator + +. In fact, any binary Hamming code of the form Ham(r, 2) is equivalent to a cyclic code, [3] and any Hamming code of the form Ham(r,q) with r and q-1 relatively prime is also equivalent to a cyclic code. [4]
In mathematical terms, Hamming codes are a class of binary linear code. For each integer r ≥ 2 there is a code-word with block length n = 2r − 1 and message length k = 2r − r − 1. Hence the rate of Hamming codes is R = k / n = 1 − r / (2r − 1), which is the highest possible for codes with minimum distance of three (i.e., the minimal ...
Traditional Reed–Muller codes are binary codes, which means that messages and codewords are binary strings. When r and m are integers with 0 ≤ r ≤ m, the Reed–Muller code with parameters r and m is denoted as RM ( r , m ). When asked to encode a message consisting of k bits, where holds, the RM ( r , m) code produces a codeword ...
A block code (specifically a Hamming code) where redundant bits are added as a block to the end of the initial message A continuous convolutional code where redundant bits are added continuously into the structure of the code word. The two main categories of ECC codes are block codes and convolutional codes.

The condition that is a quadratic residue of ensures that the coefficients of lie in . The dimension of the code is . Replacing by another primitive -th root of unity ...
It is a CSS code (Calderbank-Shor-Steane), using the classical binary [7,4,3] Hamming code to correct for both qubit flip errors (X errors) and phase flip errors (Z errors). The Steane code encodes one logical qubit in 7 physical qubits and is able to correct arbitrary single qubit errors. Its check matrix in standard form is
Hamming weight. The Hamming weight of a 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 most typical case, a string of bits, this is the number of 1's in the string, or the digit sum of the binary ...
