  2. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. A number (i.e., integer) expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd. That is, if the last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, then it is odd; otherwise it is even—as the last digit of any even number is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

  3. Parity of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

    Every integer is either of the form (2 × ) + 0 or (2 × ) + 1; the former numbers are even and the latter are odd. For example, 1 is odd because 1 = (2 × 0) + 1, and 0 is even because 0 = (2 × 0) + 0. Making a table of these facts then reinforces the number line picture above. [9]

  4. Parity - Wikipedia

    Parity (mathematics), indicates whether a number is even or odd Parity of a permutation, indicates whether a permutation has an even or odd number of inversions; Parity function, a Boolean function whose value is 1 if the input vector has an odd number of ones; Parity learning, a problem in machine learning; Parity of even and odd functions

    Even and odd numbers: An integer is even if it is a multiple of 2, and is odd otherwise. Prime number: A positive integer with exactly two positive divisors: itself and 1. The primes form an infinite sequence 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, ...

  6. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

  7. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    In the case of odd parity, the coding is reversed. For a given set of bits, if the count of bits with a value of 1 is even, the parity bit value is set to 1 making the total count of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an odd number. If the count of bits with a value of 1 is odd, the count is already odd so the parity bit's value is ...

  8. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    They are named for the parity of the powers of the power functions which satisfy each condition: the function () = is even if n is an even integer, and it is odd if n is an odd integer. Even functions are those real functions whose graph is self-symmetric with respect to the y -axis, and odd functions are those whose graph is self-symmetric ...

  9. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    If n > 1, then there are just as many even permutations in S n as there are odd ones; [3] consequently, A n contains n!/2 permutations. (The reason is that if σ is even then (1 2)σ is odd, and if σ is odd then (1 2)σ is even, and these two maps are inverse to each other.) [3] A cycle is even if and only if its length is odd. This follows ...
