In the case of odd parity, the coding is reversed. For a given set of bits, if the count of bits with a value of 1 is even, the parity bit value is set to 1 making the total count of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an odd number. If the count of bits with a value of 1 is odd, the count is already odd so the parity bit's value is 0.
Even and odd numbers have opposite parities, e.g., 22 (even number) and 13 (odd number) have opposite parities. In particular, the parity of zero is even. [2] Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. A number (i.e., integer) expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd. That ...
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
A code with this ability to reconstruct the original message in the presence of errors is known as an error-correcting code. This triple repetition code is a Hamming code with m = 2, since there are two parity bits, and 2 2 − 2 − 1 = 1 data bit. Such codes cannot correctly repair all errors, however.
The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

The odd–even sort algorithm correctly sorts this data in passes. (A pass here is defined to be a full sequence of odd–even, or even–odd comparisons. The passes occur in order pass 1: odd–even, pass 2: even–odd, etc.) Proof: This proof is based loosely on one by Thomas Worsch. [6]
The ordinary factorial, when extended to the gamma function, has a pole at each negative integer, preventing the factorial from being defined at these numbers. However, the double factorial of odd numbers may be extended to any negative odd integer argument by inverting its recurrence relation!! = ()!! to give !! = (+)!! +.
