The word 'Wikipedia' represented in ASCII binary code, made up of 9 bytes (72 bits). A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits ...
This is a list of some binary codes that are (or have been) used to represent text as a sequence of binary digits "0" and "1". Fixed-width binary codes use a set number of bits to represent each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character.
The "PCM tube" apparatus that Gray patented was made by Raymond W. Sears of Bell Labs, working with Gray and William M. Goodall, who credited Gray for the idea of the reflected binary code. [44] Part of front page of Gray's patent, showing PCM tube (10) with reflected binary code in plate (15)
For a given set of bits, if the count of bits with a value of 1 is even, the parity bit value is set to 1 making the total count of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an odd number. If the count of bits with a value of 1 is odd, the count is already odd so the parity bit's value is 0.
The generator polynomial of the BCH code is defined as the least common multiple g(x) = lcm(m 1 (x),…,m d − 1 (x)). It can be seen that g ( x ) is a polynomial with coefficients in GF( q ) and divides x n − 1 .
Type II codes are binary self-dual codes which are doubly even. Type III codes are ternary self-dual codes. Every codeword in a Type III code has Hamming weight divisible by 3. Type IV codes are self-dual codes over F 4. These are again even. Codes of types I, II, III, or IV exist only if the length n is a multiple of 2, 8, 4, or 2 respectively.
This triple repetition code is a Hamming code with m = 2, since there are two parity bits, and 2 2 − 2 − 1 = 1 data bit. Such codes cannot correctly repair all errors, however. In our example, if the channel flips two bits and the receiver gets 001, the system will detect the error, but conclude that the original bit is 0, which is incorrect.
The Aiken code (also known as 2421 code) [1] [2] is a complementary binary-coded decimal (BCD) code. A group of four bits is assigned to the decimal digits from 0 to 9 according to the following table.
