Hamming Code is an error-detecting and error-correcting code used in digital communication and data storage. It was developed by Richard Hamming in the 1950s to improve the reliability of data transmission. The code adds redundant bits to a message, allowing the detection and correction of single-bit errors. The process involves placing parity bits at specific positions in the data. These bits help identify the location of an error if one occurs. By using Hamming's algorithm, systems can automatically correct errors, ensuring that the original data remains intact even after transmission or storage.
