Program Plan Intro

Parity bit:

Parity bit is a simplest form of error detection code.

  • A bit added to 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

Even parity bit:

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

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
