Description
For any linear code \(C\) over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\), the dual code is the set of \(q\)-ary strings over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\) that are orthogonal to the codewords of \(C\) under the standard inner product modulo \(q\).
The dual code over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\) is \begin{align} C^\perp = \{ y\in (\mathbb{Z}_q)^{n} ~|~ x \cdot y=0 \mod q \forall x\in C\}~. \tag*{(1)}\end{align}
