Even parity is a method of adding a binary digit to a word to make the total number bits in the word even.
Step-by-step explanation:
The parity bit ensures the total number of 1-bits is even or odd in the string. Parity bits are of two variants even parity bit and an odd parity bit.
In even parity, the occurrences of bits whose value is 1 shall be counted in a given set of bits. If the count is odd, the value of the parity bit is set to 1, which makes the total number of occurrences of 1's in the whole set (including the parity bit) to even.
Hence, in even parity, the total number of bits in the word made to even.
