Redundancy checking is a technique used to detect errors or errors in a data transmission. It involves adding extra bits to the data to create a checksum or parity. The receiver then checks for errors by recalculating the checksum or parity and comparing it to the received value. If they do not match, an error is detected.
parity error
A. requiring partial retransmission of the signal B. requiring retransmission of entire signal C. using parity to correct to errors in all cases D. requiring no part of the signal to be transmitted
A parity generator checks the data to be transmitted and outputs a 0(parity bit) if the number of logic 1's in the data is even, and a logic 0 if the number is odd. So a checker takes the transmitted data and the parity bit and will compare the two, and if they are both of the same logic then the you can conclude that the data was recieved succesfully(i.e no bits were lost during transmission). Parity checker/generator use the exact same devices, but with one comparing instead of generating.
parity
Simple parity can not correct multiple errors. If more than one error exists at a time, then simple parity can not calculate the missing data.
A parity error always causes the system to halt.

Parity checking is used as a way to ensure data integrity and prevent errors, or detect them in the event they are occuring.
A special system of multiple parity bits (e.g. Hamming parity) that allows not only error detection but limited error correction.Ordinary single bit parity can detect reliably single bit errors.Hamming parity can correct single bit errors and detect reliably double bit errors.
ecc momory can detect and repair errors
Longitudinal parity, sometime it is also called longitudinal redundancy check or horizontal parity, tries to solve the main weakness of simple parity.The first step of this parity scheme involves grouping individual character together in a block, as fig given below 1.1fig.Each character (also called a row) in the block has its own parity bit. In addition, after a certain number of character are sent, a row of parity bits, or a block character check, is also sent. Each parity bit in this last row is a parity check for all the bits in the Colum above it. If one bit is altered in the Row 1, the parity bit at the end of row 1 signals an error. If two bits in Row 1 are flipped, the Row 1 parity check will not signal error, but two Colum parity checks will signal errors. By this way how longitudinal parity is able to detect more errors than simple parity.
PARITY
Parity
The inclusion of a parity bit extends the message length. There are more bits that can be in error since the parity bit is now included. The parity bit may be in error when there are no errors in the corresponding data bits. Therefore, the inclusion of a parity bit with each character would change the probability of receiving a correct message.
Parity errors can occur in any device that stores data. It is usually not noticed unless the system has provisions (BIOS and software) to detect those errors. ECC memory and hard drives using certain configurations (such as RAID) are typical.
