== Code Rate 1 ==

Re the recent change to say that code rates could be equal to 1, I don't know of any such codes ever being used in practice, and it certainly doesn't seem very useful...

Line 9 ⟶ 11:

Josh Rubin: I second BrettE. The page for Reed-Solomon codes gives a rough but accurate definition;

this page manages to talk about convolutional codes without defining them. A definition of "convolution" as used in mathematics and signal processing is in order too.

:Codes of rate 1 are used in practice I'm quite sure. They would be used in storage media usually to satisfy frequency-related constraints. You can think of these codes as simply transforming information into a different format without changing its rate.
