Program Plan Intro

Parity bit:

Parity bit is the simplest form of error detection code.

• A bit added at the end of a string of binary code is called as parity bit. It is otherwise called check bit.
• This parity bit indicates whether the number of bits in the binary code with the value 1 is even or odd.
  • If the binary code contains even number of 1, it is referred to as even parity.
  • If the binary code contains odd number of 1, it is referred to as odd parity.
• There are two types of parity bits:
  • Even parity bit
  • Odd parity bit

Odd parity bit:

• Odd parity bit is set to 1, if the count of one’s in a given binary code is even without including the parity bit.
• Otherwise, it is set to 0, if the count of one’s in a given binary code is odd.
