Simulation of Error Detection and Correction Gaming Project in C++

Explanation

  1. Function encodeHamming:
    • Purpose: Encodes 4-bit data using the Hamming(7,4) code.
    • Process:
      • Sets the data bits in their positions.
      • Calculates the parity bits (p1, p2, p3) and sets them accordingly.
      • Returns the encoded 7-bit data.
  2. Function decodeHamming:
    • Purpose: Decodes the 7-bit Hamming code and detects/corrects errors.
    • Process:
      • Calculates parity bits from the received data.
      • Computes the syndromes to identify error positions.
      • Corrects the error if detected.
      • Extracts and returns the 4-bit data from the corrected 7-bit code.
  3. Main Function:
    • Setup: Prompts the user to input a 4-bit data value.
    • Encoding: Encodes the data using the encodeHamming function.
    • Simulate Error: Allows the user to introduce a single-bit error for demonstration purposes.
    • Decoding and Correction: Decodes the received data, corrects any errors, and displays the decoded data.

Usage

  • Error Detection and Correction: Demonstrates a basic error correction mechanism using the Hamming(7,4) code.
  • User Interaction: Allows users to input data, simulate errors, and observe the correction process.
