Parity Explained Theory and Application

Parity is explained, calculated, built on a hardware level and so on. All of this is to set you up for understanding Error Correcting Code!



Notes;
Transparent to Windows unless something goes wrong.
XOR GATES and data is pushed through them and a parity bit is made. Every time there is a one the parity bit will flip from 0 to a 1 or a 1 to 0.
Parity be definition; a function whose being even (or odd) provides a check on a set of binary values.
Explain Words. Use 8 bit words as an example
Every byte has a parity bit.
It is commonly whether there are an odd number of ones or not. Coming in the form of a true(1) or false(0).
At the recieving end, i.e. the memory controller part of your CPU the parity bit is checked in real time against the data that is being received. Once it is in the CPU we will assume
