Can only detect one error and cannot correct any errors
Can correct
errors
and can detect $n-1$ errors
Measures the number of differences (in this case 1)
The Hamming weight is the number of non zeroes (2 for top, 1 for bottom)
A code can correct t errors iff it has a minimum distance
So for this code it can correct 1 error (min distance of 3 would also work to correct 1 error)
There needs to be overlap between the codes in order to be able to distinguish them
As the $d_{min}$ is an integer value, the formula is equivalent to $d_{min}>2t$
