Formula and methodology
Formula: Choose the smallest r satisfying 2^r ≥ data bits+r+1; total code bits = data bits+r.
The inequality accounts for all single-bit error positions plus the no-error state in a classic Hamming-code sizing exercise.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Data bits — minimum 1; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Data bits | 8 |
Parity bits = 4; total code bits = 12.
Assumptions and limits
- Data bits are a positive whole number.
- The result is the minimum parity count for the classic single-error-correcting layout.
- Extended parity, burst errors, interleaving, decoding implementation, and reliability are not modeled.
