How many errors per pattern could be corrected when using an error-correcting code in which any two code patterns differ by a Hamming distance of 8?
Tap an option to check yourself.
Answer: A) 3
A code with minimum Hamming distance d corrects up to floor((d-1)/2) errors. For d = 8 that is floor(7/2) = 3.
