  2. Hamming code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code

    A code with this ability to reconstruct the original message in the presence of errors is known as an error-correcting code. This triple repetition code is a Hamming code with m = 2, since there are two parity bits, and 2 2 − 2 − 1 = 1 data bit. Such codes cannot correctly repair all errors, however.

  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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    the use of 2 to check whether a number is even or odd, as in isEven = (x % 2 == 0), where % is the modulo operator; the use of simple arithmetic constants, e.g., in expressions such as circumference = 2 * Math.PI * radius, [1] or for calculating the discriminant of a quadratic equation as d = b^2 − 4*a*c

  6. Point in polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_in_polygon

    If the point is on the inside of the polygon then it will intersect the edge an odd number of times. The status of a point on the edge of the polygon depends on the details of the ray intersection algorithm. This algorithm is sometimes also known as the crossing number algorithm or the evenodd rule algorithm, and was known as early as 1962. [3]

  7. 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.

  8. 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]

  9. Even - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even

    even and odd functions, a function is even if f(−x) = f(x) for all x; even and odd permutations, a permutation of a finite set is even if it is composed of an even number of transpositions; Singly even number, an integer divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4; Even code, if the Hamming weight of all of a binary code's codewords is even
