Abstract
Provided is an error correcting method including: executing, by an error-position detector, a determination process if a received word fails to satisfy a predetermined condition, the received word having a plurality of symbols, the determination process including determining if a determination-target symbol has an error or not, and detecting an error position, the error position being a position of the symbol having an error; changing, by a determination-target changing unit, the position of the determination-target symbol of the received word every time the determination process is executed; detecting, by an undetected-position detector, if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the error position of the symbol, for which the determination process is not executed, based on a relation between the error position and a variable generated from the received word; and correcting, by an error corrector, an error at the error position detected by the error-position detector and the undetected-position detector.
