Parity Check: The process of verifying the accuracy of data based on the parity bit. When data is received or retrieved, the number of set bits is counted and compared with the expected value based on the parity bit. If the counts match, it’s assumed that the data is error-free; if not, it indicates that a data error has occurred during transmission or storage.
