Best Answer

Parity is just another word for fairness or equality. That would mean things like both genders having equal opportunities, receiving equal treatment, and getting equal pay.

When it comes to pay, it is a blurry issue. For instance, larger paychecks for men may not mean discrimination if the women simply don't want to work for the same number of hours. But even that could indicate bias if women are not allowed to work as many hours. Taxes can blur the lines too, since a woman might be making a couple cents more an hour than most of the guys and take home less due to a different tax bracket.

What is parity interrupt?

There is no parity interrupt on the 8085 or 8086/8088. If you mean a memory parity interrupt, that is a function of system design, not a function of the particular microprocessor involved. Generally, a memory parity error is fatal, so one would typically place it on a non-maskable interrupt, such as TRAP on the 8085, or INT 2 (NMI) on the 8086/8088. This assumes, of course, that the memory parity error does not just crash the processor.


What do you mean by single bit error correction?

A special system of multiple parity bits (e.g. Hamming parity) that allows not only error detection but limited error correction.Ordinary single bit parity can detect reliably single bit errors.Hamming parity can correct single bit errors and detect reliably double bit errors.
