RS(255, 223)

RS(255, 223) refers to a Reed-Solomon error-correcting code that processes 223 data symbols and adds 32 parity symbols, totaling 255 symbols. This coding method detects and corrects errors in data transmission or storage, allowing the recovery of up to 16 symbols (or 8 bytes) that may be corrupted. It is widely used in digital communications and storage devices like DVDs and QR codes, ensuring data integrity by efficiently identifying and fixing errors without needing retransmission.
