This paper investigates cyclic codes for correcting bursts of errors from a new point of view. A simple iterative algorithm for correcting bursts of errors is developed. This algorithm is optimal in the sense that it corrects burst of errors of lengths up to the burst-error-correction limit of a cyclic code. Also included in the paper is an iterative process for correcting bursts of erasures.
