Parity Bits Overview Parity bits are a simple error detection scheme that adds an extra bit to a binary string. This bit indicates whether the number of set bits (1s) is odd or even. In even parity, if the total number of 1s is odd, a parity bit is added to make it even. Conversely, for odd parity, the bit is added to ensure the count remains odd. While quick and efficient, parity bits can only detect single-bit errors and fail to correct them, making them suitable for systems where errors are infrequent. Jane Doe +91 620 421 838 |
