hes talking about parity bits, which are 001011 0 with the parity set to odd or even.
Yep
Ah, right.
Well then,
For parity checks, you choose to transmit the data with an odd parity bit or an even one.
E.g. the binary to be transmitted is 0110101 and you choose odd parity. Choosing odd parity means that the number of 1's must be odd - if it's not, then you make it odd by making the parity bit 1. However, if it is, then the parity bit would be 0 in order to leave the number of 1's odd.
In this case, the number of 1's in the binary are 4. We have chosen odd parity hence the parity bit has to be 1 to make the number of 1's odd. As a result, the transmitting data would read as: 0110101 1
On the other hand, if even parity was chosen, the parity bit would be zero and the data to be transmitted would read as: 0110101 0
Hope this helped!
