code distance #18

In the "Distance of a code" section in section 3.4, it says that the distance of a code is the minimum weight of a string in the codespace. But just before, it is mentioned that the all-zero string is always in the codespace: so the definition for code distance should be the "minimum weight of a non-zero string", right?

Thank you for pointing this out. You are correct, and I will update the book accordingly.
