About Lesson
Changes that don’t make sense to the data, which is recorded when it is put into memory. Depending on the type of parity error, data may need to be sent again or a serious system error, like a system crash, may happen. Most of the time, the parity bit is used to find errors. A parity bit is an extra bit that is added to a binary message to make the total number of ones either odd or even. When even parity is used, the parity bit is chosen so that there are an even number of ones in the coded message. You can also use odd parity, which makes the total number of 1s in the coded message odd. When information is sent, the message at the sending end is given to a parity generator, which makes the parity bit.
