Hamming Code

The Hamming Code is used to correct errors in data transmissions. Create a function that takes a string containing the message and returns an encoded message using hamming code.

There are some variations on the rules of encipherment. One version of the cipher rules are outlined below:

hammingCode("hey") ➞
"000111111000111000000000000111111000000111000111000111111111111000000111"

Step 1: Convert every character to its ASCII value:

h, e, y = 104, 101, 121

Step 2: Convert ASCII values to 8-bit binary:

104, 101, 121 = 01101000, 01100101, 01111001

Step 3: Triple every bit:

01101000, 01100101, 01111001 =

000111111000111000000000, 000111111000000111000111, 000111111111111000000111

Step 4: Concatenate the result:

"000111111000111000000000000111111000000111000111000111111111111000000111"

See the below examples for a better understanding:
