"""
* 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
