Parity encoding is a method used in computer systems to detect errors in data transmission or storage. It involves adding an extra bit, known as the parity bit, to a binary number to ensure that the total number of 1s is either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). When data is read or received, the parity can be checked to determine if an error has occurred; if the expected parity does not match the calculated parity, it indicates that the data may be corrupted. This simple error detection technique is commonly used in memory systems and communication protocols.
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.
There are two types of parity bits.they are even and odd parity.
A parity error always causes the system to hault. On the screen, you see the error message parity error 1 (parity error on the motherboard) or parity error 2 (parity error on an expansion card)

Parity of Authority and Responsibility?
Odd parity and even parity are error detection schemes used in digital communication and computer memory. In odd parity, the number of bits set to '1' in a binary sequence is always odd, while in even parity, it is always even. Marking parity refers to a specific implementation of even parity where a binary '1' is added as a parity bit to ensure that the total number of '1's is even. These methods help identify errors in data transmission or storage by providing a simple means of checking integrity.
Parity errors in memory are detected using a simple error-checking mechanism that involves an additional bit known as the parity bit. This bit is added to a group of bits (like a byte) to ensure that the total number of 1s is either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). When data is read from memory, the system recalculates the parity and compares it to the stored parity bit; if there's a mismatch, a parity error is flagged, indicating that the data may be corrupted.
Parity error indicates bad memory. Parity checks compare the memory read with what was writen.
It can be calculated via an XOR sum of the bits, yielding 0 for even parity and 1 for odd parity
Parity Error
In high school football there is not always parity of skill levels among the teams. Parity means equal. It became evident that the skill level among the high school football team is not of parity.
