Damm algorithm
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Error_detection/o2rH8e3n">error detection</a>, the Damm algorithm is a <a href="/facts/Check_digit/qMlumJpU">check digit</a> <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithm</a> that detects all <a href="/facts/Transcription_error/tzJ8YJnE">single-digit errors</a> and all <a href="/facts/Transcription_error/tzJ8YJnE">adjacent transposition errors</a>. It was presented by H. Michael Damm in 2004, as a part of his PhD dissertation entitled <i>Totally Antisymmetric Quasigroups.</i> </p>
