Subject: Syndrome for one bit vs two bit error

Hi Professor,

Sorry -- it is late. I have a quick question. In your notes, it is stated that for one-bit errors the syndrome is the index of the error, while for two-bit errors the syndrome is non-zero. How exactly do we distinguish the one-bit error and the two-bit error from a non-zero syndrome?

Thank you!
