THINGS TO NOTICE
The group of bits checked by a check bit is easily determined by looking at the binary equivalent of the position number. Each bit in that group will have a 1 in the same place.In order to use the original data, we must not only correct any possible error but also strip the check bits to get the original data back.
THINGS TO TRY
Set slow-motion to 0.3, click setup, and then click go.Click setup. Work each step by hand, and then click the step button to check your answer.
HomeApplets on this website were written by Teresa Carrigan in 2004, for use in computer science courses at Blackburn College, with the exception of the Fireworks applet. The applets made with NetLogo require Java 1.4.1 or higher to run. The applets made with NetBeans require Java 1.4.2 or higher to run. Applets might not run on Windows 95 or Mac OS 8 or 9. You may obtain the latest Java plugin from Sun's Java site.
