Hamming code is an error-detecting and error-correcting code used in digital communications and data storage. It was developed by Richard W. Hamming in the 1950s. Hamming codes can detect and correct single-bit errors and can detect two-bit errors in the transmitted data. \#\#\# Key Features of Hamming Code: 1. **Redundancy Bits**: Hamming codes add redundant bits (also called parity bits) to the data being transmitted.
