CDA4101 Extra Credit 1

Due Tuesday 1/27 (not late until 6 am on 1/28)

In this assignment, you will calculate the Hamming Code for several words. The words will be of 8, 12, 16 and 20 bits. Some words will use even parity and some will use odd parity.

For each word,

• show the generated code word;
• show the number of ones that you calculated to determine each parity bit. Do not include the parity bit in each total.
• Each question will indicate if it is to be done with even or odd parity.

If the code word is 11001010, then your answer should appear as:

  The data word	is 11001010.
  The code word	is 001110001010 using even parity.
  The number of ones used to caluclate parity bit 1 is 4. 
  The number of ones used to caluclate parity bit 2 is 2. 
  The number of ones used to caluclate parity bit 4 is 1. 
  The number of ones used to caluclate parity bit 8 is 2. 

Longer words will have longer code words and more parity bits.
