What is error? Define error detection and correction.


Various factors like manufacturing defects to environmental effects cause errors in computation. Such errors frequently appear when information is being transmitted between two relatively distant points within a computer or is being stored a memory unit. Shortly, error is missing of bit or bits in data due to change and various effects.

Error Correction:

Error correction is the way make correction where required to make an incorrect data a correct one. There are various techniques to do this, such as the hamming techniques etc.
