tarkastusbitit
Tarkastusbitit, often translated as "check bits" or "parity bits," are a fundamental concept in data integrity and error detection. They are extra bits added to a block of data during transmission or storage. These bits are not part of the original information but are calculated based on the data itself. The primary purpose of tarkastusbitit is to allow the receiver or reader to verify if the data has been corrupted during transfer or retrieval.
The most common form of tarkastusbitit is the parity bit. In a simple parity system, a single
While simple parity can detect single-bit errors, it cannot correct them or detect all types of errors,
