"""
    * This code implement the Hamming code:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code - In telecommunication, 
    Hamming codes are a family of linear error-correcting codes. Hamming
    codes can detect up to two-bit errors or correct one-bit errors 
    without detection of uncorrected errors. By contrast, the simple 
    parity code cannot correct errors, and can detect only an odd number 
    of bits in error. Hamming codes are perfect codes, that is, they 
    achieve the highest possible rate for codes with their block length 
    and minimum distance of three.

    * the implemented code consists of:
        * a function responsible for encoding the message (emitterConverter)
            * return the encoded message
        * a function responsible for decoding the message (receptorConverter)
            * return the decoded message and a ack of data integrity
    
    * how to use:
            to be used you must declare how many parity bits (sizePari) 
        you want to include in the message.
            it is desired (for test purposes) to select a bit to be set
        as an error. This serves to check whether the code is working correctly.
            Lastly, the variable of the message/word that must be desired to be 
        encoded (text).
    
    * how this work:
            declaration of variables (sizePari, be, text)

            converts the message/word (text) to binary using the
        text_to_bits function
            encodes the message using the rules of hamming encoding
            decodes the message using the rules of hamming encoding
            print the original message, the encoded message and the
        decoded message

            forces an error in the coded text variable
            decodes the message that was forced the error
            print the original message, the encoded message, the bit changed
        message and the decoded message
