Line 162:
In 1950, Hamming introduced the [7,4] Hamming code. It encodes four data bits into seven bits by adding three parity bits. As explained earlier, it can either detect and correct single-bit errors or it can detect (but not correct) both single and double-bit errors.
 
With the addition of an overall parity bit, it becomes the [8,4] extended Hamming code which is [[Hamming code#hamming codes with additional parity (SECDED)|SECDED]] and can both detect and correct single-bit errors and detect (but not correct) double-bit errors.
