Implementation of Error Correcting Codes

Error correcting codes are used to recover messages transmitted through a noisy channel. A noisy channel that introduces errors spread randomly through message is said to introduce random noise, and a noisy channel that introduces errors contained in a particular section of a message is said to introduce burst noise. According to Ling and Xing, codes that are suitable for correcting random errors are not suitable for correcting
burst errors, and vice versa[1]. This paper uses the implementation of different error correcting codes in C++ to investigate the proficiency of each code in the recovery of a message corrupted by either random noise or burst noise.
