galois.ReedSolomon.n

property galois.ReedSolomon.n : int

The codeword size $n$ of the $[n, k, d]_{q}$ code. This is also called the code length.

Examples¶

Construct a $RS (15, 9)$ code over $GF (2^{4})$ .

In [1]: rs = galois.ReedSolomon(15, 9); rs
Out[1]: <Reed-Solomon Code: [15, 9, 7] over GF(2^4)>

In [2]: rs.n
Out[2]: 15

Construct a $RS (26, 18)$ code over $GF (3^{3})$ .

In [3]: rs = galois.ReedSolomon(26, 18, field=galois.GF(3**3)); rs
Out[3]: <Reed-Solomon Code: [26, 18, 9] over GF(3^3)>

In [4]: rs.n
Out[4]: 26
