Parity is a type of error detection where one of the bits in a bit string is used for this purpose. There are more complicated systems that can do more robust error detection as well as error correction. In this lab, we will use a simple version called odd parity. This reserves one bit as a parity bit. The other bits are examined, and the parity bit is set so that the number of $1$ bits is odd. For example, if you have a $3-$bit sequence, $110$ and the rightmost bit is the parity bit, it would be set to $1$ to make the number of $1$s odd. I.e$.,$ the new $3-$bit sequence would be $111.$
