(computer science) a bit that is used in an error detection procedure in which a 0 or 1 is added to each group of bits so that it will have either an odd number of 1's or an even number of 1's; e.g., if the parity is odd then any group of bits that arrives with an even number of 1's must contain an error

A parity bit is only guaranteed to detect an odd number of bit errors.

In this notation, the parity bit is not included in the data bits.

This can be used over longer distances as a check digit or parity bit can be sent along it easily.

Such codes with additional parity bit were a natural way of storing data on 7-trackmagnetic tape.

The parity bit is an example of a single-error-detecting code.

For example, a parity bit or other error management method can be inserted into the signal path.

In serialdata transmission, a common format is 7 data bit, an even parity bit, and one or two stop bits.

The least significant bit of the command byte is a parity bit over the command byte and the ID byte.

An even number of flipped bits will make the parity bit appear correct even though the data is erroneous.
