Question
**Error-Correcting Code for Memory Words of Length 10**

Suppose we want an error-correcting code that will allow all single-bit errors to be corrected for memory words of length 10.

**a. How many parity bits are necessary?**

---

**b.** Assuming we are using the Hamming algorithm presented in this chapter to design our error-correcting code and an **odd parity**, find the code word to represent the 10-bit information word:

\[ 1 \ 0 \ 0 \ 1 \ 1 \ 0 \ 0 \ 1 \ 1 \ 1 \]

---

**c.** We now receive the following code word:

\[ 1 \ 0 \ 1 \ 0 \ 1 \ 1 \ 0 \ 0 \ 0 \ 0 \ 1 \ 0 \ 1 \ 1 \]

Is this a legal code word, assuming an odd parity? If not, what is the corrected code word? (Which bit is the error bit?)
