Furthermore, a binary code is called doubly even if the Hamming weight of all its codewords is divisible by 4.
An even code which is not doubly even is said to be strictly even.
Examples of doubly even codes are the extended binary Hamming code of block length 8 and the extended binary Golay code of block length 24.
These two codes are, in addition, self-dual.
