+**Error Detecting Code** adds redundant data to messages, allowing receivers to identify alterations that occurred during transmission or storage. This mechanism, foundational for [Data Integrity](/wiki/data_integrity), signals when a message might be corrupted rather than silently accepting errors. Often, it works in tandem with [Error Correction](/wiki/error_correction) to not just detect, but also fix, these digital mishaps.
