parity bit

• Bit adicional añadido a un grupo de bits para asegurar que el número total de unos sea par o impar, utilizado para detectar errores en la transmisión o almacenamiento de datos.

A binary digit added to a group of bits to ensure that the total number of 1s is either even or odd, used for error detection in data transmission and storage.

1. Error-checking bitC1formal

   A bit added to a binary string to ensure that the total number of 1-bits is either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity), used for basic error detection in data transmission.

   bit de paridad

   • The system uses a parity bit to detect single-bit errors in memory.
   • When sending data, the sender calculates the parity bit and attaches it to the message.
   • A mismatch in the parity bit indicates that the data may have been corrupted.
