Parity
  • In binary-coded systems, the oddness or evenness of the number of ones in a finite binary stream. Note: By the addition of one extra bit, a bit stream can be forced to a specified parity state. This is often used as a simple error-detection check, and will detect (but not correct) the occurrences of any single bit error in the field. See also block parity.
