  2. Luhn mod N algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_mod_N_algorithm

    This step results in even numbers if the doubled value is less than or equal to N, and odd numbers if the doubled value is greater than N. For example, in Decimal applications where N is 10, original values between 0 and 4 result in even numbers and original values between 5 and 9 result in odd numbers, effectively re-packing the doubled values ...

  3. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    For instance, the UPC-A barcode for a box of tissues is "036000241457". The last digit is the check digit "7", and if the other numbers are correct then the check digit calculation must produce 7. Add the odd number digits: 0+6+0+2+1+5 = 14. Multiply the result by 3: 14 × 3 = 42. Add the even number digits: 3+0+0+4+4 = 11.

  4. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    the use of 2 to check whether a number is even or odd, as in isEven = (x % 2 == 0), where % is the modulo operator; the use of simple arithmetic constants, e.g., in expressions such as circumference = 2 * Math.PI * radius, [1] or for calculating the discriminant of a quadratic equation as d = b^2 − 4*a*c

  5. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    Accordingly, there are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. In the case of even parity, for a given set of bits, the bits whose value is 1 are counted. If that count is odd, the parity bit value is set to 1, making the total count of occurrences of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an even number.

  6. Hamming code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code

    The repetition example would be (3,1), following the same logic. The code rate is the second number divided by the first, for our repetition example, 1/3. Hamming also noticed the problems with flipping two or more bits, and described this as the "distance" (it is now called the Hamming distance, after him). Parity has a distance of 2, so one ...

  7. Parity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_function

    Parity only depends on the number of ones and is therefore a symmetric Boolean function.. The n-variable parity function and its negation are the only Boolean functions for which all disjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 monomials of length n and all conjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 clauses of length n.

  8. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    If n > 1, then there are just as many even permutations in S n as there are odd ones; [3] consequently, A n contains n!/2 permutations. (The reason is that if σ is even then (1 2)σ is odd, and if σ is odd then (1 2)σ is even, and these two maps are inverse to each other.) [3] A cycle is even if and only if its length is odd. This follows ...

  9. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    For example, to test if an integer is odd, one might be inclined to test if the remainder by 2 is equal to 1: bool is_odd ( int n ) { return n % 2 == 1 ; } But in a language where modulo has the sign of the dividend, that is incorrect, because when n (the dividend) is negative and odd, n mod 2 returns −1, and the function returns false.
