  2. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    Accordingly, there are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. In the case of even parity, for a given set of bits, the bits whose value is 1 are counted. If that count is odd, the parity bit value is set to 1, making the total count of occurrences of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an even number. If the ...

  3. Parity flag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_flag

    For example, assume a machine where a set parity flag indicates even parity. If the result of the last operation were 26 (11010 in binary), the parity flag would be 0 since the number of set bits is odd. Similarly, if the result were 10 (1010 in binary) then the parity flag would be 1.

  4. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    A parity bit is a bit that is added to a group of source bits to ensure that the number of set bits (i.e., bits with value 1) in the outcome is even or odd. It is a very simple scheme that can be used to detect single or any other odd number (i.e., three, five, etc.) of errors in the output.

  5. Parity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_function

    Parity only depends on the number of ones and is therefore a symmetric Boolean function. The n-variable parity function and its negation are the only Boolean functions for which all disjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 monomials of length n and all conjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 clauses of ...

  6. Parity measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_measurement

    For example, for making parity check measurement in the X basis, we need to apply CNOT gates between the ancilla qubit and the data qubits sequentially since the controlled gate in this case is a CNOT (CX) gate. [4] The unique state of the ancillary qubit is then used to determine either even or odd parity of the qubits.

  7. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, parity is the property of an integer of whether it is even or odd. An integer is even if it is divisible by 2, and odd if it is not. [1] For example, −4, 0, and 82 are even numbers, while −3, 5, 7, and 21 are odd numbers.

  8. Serial port - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

    Parity is a method of detecting errors in transmission. When parity is used with a serial port, an extra data bit is sent with each data character, arranged so that the number of 1 bits in each character, including the parity bit, is always odd or always even. If a byte is received with the wrong number of 1s, then it must have been corrupted.

  9. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    The permutation is odd if and only if this factorization contains an odd number of even-length cycles. Another method for determining whether a given permutation is even or odd is to construct the corresponding permutation matrix and compute its determinant. The value of the determinant is the same as the parity of the permutation. Every ...
