There are two types of parity bits.they are even and odd parity.
parity error
Non-parity memory is memory without parity. Parity memory is memory with extra bits, sometimes one, sometimes more, that accompany the word. These extra parity bits are generated to a known value, typically to make the total number of bits on that word even or odd. When the word is retrieved, the parity bits are compared against what they should be. If they are different, then one or more of the bits in the original word or in the parity bits must have changed. This is an error condition that can be trapped. In a multiple parity bit system, the calculation of the bits allows not only for the detection of a changed bit, but also for the identification of which bit changed. This is known as ECC parity, or Error-Correcting-Code. Often, you can detect and correct any one bit error, and you can detect, but not correct, any two bit error. Since random bits changes are rare, those that do occur are usually one bit errors, making ECC parity valuable for high reliability systems such as servers.
A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with the value one in a set of bits is even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code.
It can be calculated via an XOR sum of the bits, yielding 0 for even parity and 1 for odd parity
P (parity)is the count of '1's in the last 8 bits of any binary number expressed as even or odd. Logic 0 for odd parity; logic 1 for even parity.-if a number contains three binary one bits, it has odd parity-if a number contains no one bits, it has even parity
To encode the 8-bit byte 10101111 using Hamming code, we need to add parity bits to detect and correct single-bit errors. For an 8-bit data, we typically need 4 parity bits, resulting in a total of 12 bits. The encoded Hamming code will interleave the parity bits at positions that are powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8) and calculate their values based on the data bits. The resulting encoded sequence after inserting the parity bits will be 101110111111.
Hamming Code is a system involving multiple parity bits per word such that not only can errors be detected but certain types of errors can be corrected. The first Hamming Code was called (7,4) because it added 3 parity bits to 4 data bits, creating a 7 bit code. See link for example.
Parity errors occur when the parity bit, which is used for error detection in data transmission, does not match the expected value. Parity bits can be either even or odd, depending on the system's configuration, and are added to data to ensure that the total number of set bits (1s) is either even or odd. If a parity error is detected, it typically indicates that one or more bits have been altered during transmission, prompting the need for error correction or retransmission of the data.
In the 8086 microprocessor, the parity flag (PF) is affected by the OR instruction based on the result of the operation. The parity flag is set if the number of set bits (1s) in the result is even; it is cleared if the number of set bits is odd. Therefore, after executing an OR instruction, the parity flag reflects the parity of the result of the logical OR operation performed on the operands.
Parity is commonly used in computer science and telecommunications for error detection. In data transmission, parity bits are added to ensure that the number of bits with a value of one is even (even parity) or odd (odd parity), helping to identify errors that may occur during data transfer. Additionally, parity is utilized in memory systems to check for data integrity and in RAID configurations for fault tolerance. Beyond computing, parity concepts also appear in statistics and game theory to analyze outcomes and strategies.

The inclusion of a parity bit extends the message length. There are more bits that can be in error since the parity bit is now included. The parity bit may be in error when there are no errors in the corresponding data bits. Therefore, the inclusion of a parity bit with each character would change the probability of receiving a correct message.
