Abstract
From the previous chapter one might get the impression that the theory of error-correcting codes is equivalent to the theory of finite geometry or arrangements over finite fields. This is not true from a practical point of view. A code is useless without a decoding algorithm. For engineers the total performance of the encoding and decoding scheme is important.
