A parity bit, or check
bit is a bit added to the end of a string of binary code that indicates whether
the number of bits in the string with the value one is even or odd for error
detection purposes.
There are two variants
of parity bits.
Even parity bit
For a given set of
bits, the occurrences of 1 is odd, the parity bit value is set to 1.
If the occurrence of 1
is even is even, the parity bit value is set to 0.
Odd parity bit
For a given set of
bits, the occurrences of 1 is odd, the parity bit value is set to 0.
