Hamming code error-correction in ARM assembly homework help

The homework deals with correct errors in a word encoded using Hamming code with 16 information bits, 5 parity bits, and a total parity bit. The implementation detects and can correct single-bit errors and can detect double-bit errors and other errors. The program uses a predefined word and tries to detect and correct the single-bit errors using the parity bits. Go through the solution provided below by our ARM assembly homework help solvers and learn how to correct a hamming code error.
