(storage, communications)The resulting parity bit is constructed by XORing theword. The result is a "1" if there is an odd number of 1s,and a "0" if there is an even number of 1s in the word. Thismethod is unreliable because if an odd number of bits aredistorted, the check will not detect the error. TheLongitudinal Redundancy Check is an improvement.
