Parity

Parity may refer to: Computing Parity bit in computing, sets the parity of data for the purpose of error detection Parity flag in computing, indicates if the number of set bits is odd or even in the binary representation of the result of the last operation Parity file in data processing, created in conjunction with data files and used to check data integrity and assist in data recovery Mathematics Parity (mathematics), indicates whether a number is even or odd Parity of a permutation, indicates whether a permutation has an even or odd number of inversions Parity function, a Boolean function whose value is 1 if the input vector has an odd number of ones Parity learning, a problem in machine learning Parity of even and odd functions Physics Parity (physics), a symmetry property of physical quantities or processes under spatial inversion; see also intrinsic parity for the related quantum number Charge parity, a quantum number related to charge conjugation symmetry Parity measurement, a procedure used for error detection in quantum information science R-parity, an internal symmetry of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and other supersymmetric theories Other uses Parity (biology
