pariteettitietoja
Pariteettitietoja, known in English as parity information or parity data, is a concept primarily used in computing and data storage to ensure data integrity. It's a form of error detection that relies on a simple mathematical principle. At its core, parity information is a bit added to a group of bits, such as a byte, to make the total number of '1' bits either even or odd.
There are two main types of parity: even parity and odd parity. With even parity, the parity
When data is transmitted or stored, the parity bit is calculated and appended. Upon retrieval or reception,
Parity checking is a basic but effective method for detecting single-bit errors. However, it has limitations.
