In [[coding theory]], a '''constant-weight code''', also called an '''m of n code''', is an [[error detection and correction]] code where all codewords share the same [[Hamming weight]].
The [[one-hot]] code and the '''balanced code''' are two widely- used kinds of constant-weight code.
 
The theory is closely connected to that of [[Combinatorial design|designs]] (such as [[block design|''t''-design]]s and [[Steiner system]]s). Most of the work on this very vital field of [[discrete mathematics]] is concerned with ''binary'' constant-weight codes.
