  2. Shannon–Fano coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Fano_coding

    Shannon–Fano codes are suboptimal in the sense that they do not always achieve the lowest possible expected codeword length, as Huffman coding does. [1] However, Shannon–Fano codes have an expected codeword length within 1 bit of optimal. Fano's method usually produces encoding with shorter expected lengths than Shannon's method.

  3. Constant-weight code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-weight_code

    A special case of constant weight codes are the one-of-N codes, that encode ⁡ bits in a code-word of bits. The one-of-two code uses the code words 01 and 10 to encode the bits '0' and '1'. A one-of-four code can use the words 0001, 0010, 0100, 1000 in order to encode two bits 00, 01, 10, and 11.

  4. Linear code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_code

    A code is defined to be equidistant if and only if there exists some constant d such that the distance between any two of the code's distinct codewords is equal to d. [4] In 1984 Arrigo Bonisoli determined the structure of linear one-weight codes over finite fields and proved that every equidistant linear code is a sequence of dual Hamming ...

  5. C0 and C1 control codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes

    In 1973, ECMA-35 and ISO 2022 [18] attempted to define a method so an 8-bit "extended ASCII" code could be converted to a corresponding 7-bit code, and vice versa. [19] In a 7-bit environment, the Shift Out would change the meaning of the 96 bytes 0x20 through 0x7F [a] [21] (i.e. all but the C0 control codes), to be the characters that an 8-bit environment would print if it used the same code ...

  6. Code folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_folding

    Code or text folding, or less commonly holophrasting, [1] is a feature of some graphical user interfaces that allows the user to selectively hide ("fold") or display ("unfold") parts of a document. This allows the user to manage large amounts of text while viewing only those subsections that are currently of interest.

  7. Coding theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_theory

    Linear block codes have the property of linearity, i.e. the sum of any two codewords is also a code word, and they are applied to the source bits in blocks, hence the name linear block codes. There are block codes that are not linear, but it is difficult to prove that a code is a good one without this property. [4]

  8. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    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. Block codes work on fixed-size ...

  9. BCH code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCH_code

    Given a prime number q and prime power q m with positive integers m and d such that d ≤ q m − 1, a primitive narrow-sense BCH code over the finite field (or Galois field) GF(q) with code length n = q m − 1 and distance at least d is constructed by the following method. Let α be a primitive element of GF(q m).
