Parity checking is the process that ensures accurate data transmission between nodes during communication. A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit added to a string of binary code. Parity bits are a simple form of error detecting code. It is the simplest technique for detecting and correcting errors. The MSB of an 8-bits word is used as the parity bit and the remaining 7 bits are used as data or message bits. Because of its simplicity, parity is used in many hardware applications where an operation can be repeated in case of difficulty, or where simply detecting the error is helpful. The primary advantages of parity are its simplicity and ease of use. Its primary disadvantage is that sometimes, it may fail to catch errors. If two data bits are corrupted, for instance, parity will not detect the error. It also checks whether the data is in serial or in parallel order. Hence parity checking is a method to check that data is in serial or parallel order. Additional InformationData corruption refers to errors in computer data that occur during writing, reading, storage, transmission, or processing, which introduce unintended changes to the original data. Computer, transmission, and storage systems use a number of measures to provide end-to-end data integrity or lack of errors.
