The document discusses two types of codes: perfect codes and quasi-perfect codes. Perfect codes achieve the Hamming bound and examples include repetition codes. Repetition codes repeat each data bit across the codeword to achieve error-free communication. Quasi-perfect codes have a very low probability of errors and examples are linear codes, which apply symbols like bits to the communication channel and can detect errors in the message block. Both types of codes are used to encode and decode messages over a communication channel.
