cai_golay 0.1.1

Encoding and decoding of the (23, 12, 7) standard and (24, 12, 8) extended Golay codes.

The generator polynomial for these codes is given by

g(x) = x11 + x10 + x6 + x5 + x4 + x2 + 1

The decoding algorithm for the extended code is derived from [1, p79] and [2, p261], and the decoding algorithm for the standard code is derived from [3].
