Golay Code

The Golay Code is a type of error-correcting code used in digital communications to detect and fix mistakes that occur during data transmission. It adds extra bits to the original data in a precise way, enabling the receiver to identify and correct certain errors without needing a new transmission. The Golay Code is highly efficient, capable of correcting up to three errors in each data block, making it valuable in applications like deep-space communication and data storage systems. Its design balances robust error correction with minimal added data, ensuring reliable and efficient communication.
