Summary Of: Parity bit

An even parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in a given set of bits... An odd parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in a given set of bits... If the parity bit is present but not used... where the parity bit is always 1... s calculated parity value matches the parity bit in its received value... s the same example but now the parity bit itself gets corrupted... A parity bit is only guaranteed to detect an odd number of bit errors... the parity bit records the correct number of ones...
