Abstract

A code of lengthn, dimensionk and minimum distanced ismaximum distance separable (MDS) ifk+d=n+1. We give the number of MDS codes of length 7 and dimension 3 on finite fields withq elements whereq=2m. In order to get this number, we compute the number of configurations of seven points in the projective plane overF q , no three of which are collinear.
