| Basic
method of checking data for errors during a transmission or on a data
storage mechanism. Parity works by setting a parity bit
to an even or odd number. If the binary
stream contains eight 0's or 1's, for example, we know that this is an
even number; however, if the parity bit indicates that this number
should be an odd number we would be able to easily determine that the
data is corrupt.
