  Overview  of  noun  parity 
 
  The  noun  parity  has  5  senses  (no  senses  from  tagged  texts) 
 
  1.  parity,  para  --  ((obstetrics)  the  number  of  live-born  children  a  woman  has  delivered;  "the  parity  of  the  mother  must  be  considered";  "a  bipara  is  a  woman  who  has  given  birth  to  two  children") 
  2.  parity  --  ((mathematics)  a  relation  between  a  pair  of  integers:  if  both  integers  are  odd  or  both  are  even  they  have  the  same  parity;  if  one  is  odd  and  the  other  is  even  they  have  different  parity) 
  3.  parity  bit,  parity  --  ((computer  science)  an  error  detection  procedure  in  which  a  bit  (0  or  1)  added  to  each  group  of  bits  so  that  it  will  have  either  an  odd  number  of  1's  or  an  even  number  of  1's;  e.g.,  if  the  parity  is  odd  then  any  group  of  bits  that  arrives  with  an  even  number  of  1's  must  contain  an  error) 
  4.  parity,  conservation  of  parity,  space-reflection  symmetry,  mirror  symmetry  --  ((physics)  parity  is  conserved  in  a  universe  in  which  the  laws  of  physics  are  the  same  in  a  right-handed  system  of  coordinates  as  in  a  left-handed  system) 
  5.  parity  --  (functional  equality)
