20 Percent : ECC and Transient Errors

File	Purpose	How to Use
ErrorSim2.0.py	Creates random binary files, creates errors in them and attempts to correct the errors by comparing multiple versions of the same file	Ensure your computer is equipt to run Python, download a text editor such as Atom to view program
ErrorCorrectionSimulation.py	First iteration of code	Dont use
ToDo.txt	For user to input desired percent chance of flip and number of copies, as well as designate how many runs. (ErrorSim2.0 can also randomly generate ToDo.txt should user choose)	Save .txt file in same folder as program, use format: RunNumber)ChanceErrorAsWholeNum,NumberOfCopies*
ForExport.csv	File created to write data into for easy export to Excel or Google Docs	Have a copy or Microsoft Excel available for use or have a Google account. If using Docs: File > Import > Upload > Do select convert

Corrections and Possible Extensions:

• Fix "maximum recursive depth reached" error (is this inherent with recursion and large data sets or flaw of program?)
• Add method to calculate actual probability of bit flip based on altitude, hardware type, etc. (See here)
• Add more means of error correction (ex: parity bits)
