In parity checking, what is the meaning of 'EVEN' parity?
The number of 1s in the byte, including the parity bit, is even.
The number of 0s in the byte, including the parity bit, is even.
The parity bit itself is always set to 1.
The parity bit is set based on whether the count of 1-bits is odd or even.
Forklaring
With EVEN parity, the total number of 1s in the data byte plus the parity bit must be an even number.
