A parity bit is a bit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with value of one in a given set of bits is always even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest error detecting code. As for binary digits, there are two variants of parity bits: even...

The usual rule was to add an extra bit (the parity bit) at the end of each character before the stop bit. This bit would be set to 0 or 1 based on the value of the previous data bits. See also: CRC, parity, start bit...

Here are four different ways to count the number of "ones" in an 8-bit binary number: TC_bitcount - Test and Count. Tests each bit individually. A very efficient approach is possible with the PIC's BTFSS (Bit Test File register, Skip if Set) instruction.

unsigned char b; // byte value to compute the parity of bool parity = ParityTable[b]; // OR, for 32-bit words: v ^= v >> 16; The following method computes the parity of the 32-bit value in only 8 operations using a multiply.
