  2. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Even and odd numbers have opposite parities, e.g., 22 (even number) and 13 (odd number) have opposite parities. In particular, the parity of zero is even. [2] 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    If a real function has a domain that is self-symmetric with respect to the origin, it may be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an even and an odd function, which are called respectively the even part (or the even component) and the odd part (or the odd component) of the function, and are defined by = + (), and = ().

  5. 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 ...

  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. Odd–even sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddeven_sort

    The oddeven sort algorithm correctly sorts this data in passes. (A pass here is defined to be a full sequence of oddeven, or evenodd comparisons. The passes occur in order pass 1: oddeven, pass 2: evenodd, etc.) Proof: This proof is based loosely on one by Thomas Worsch. [6]

    Working on the front lines of the battle to remove invasive pythons, Ian Bartoszek, a wildlife biologist with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, has seen first-hand what the pythons are ...

  9. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    Since the claim depends on whether l is odd or even, we prove each case separately. If l is odd, then, by the induction hypothesis, for an array A of length l , permutations(l, A) will not change A, and for the claim to hold for arrays of length l +1 (which is even), we need to show that permutations(l+1, A) rotates A to the right by 1 position.
