parity - nodef/extra-bit GitHub Wiki

Calculate n-bit parity.

Similar: count, parity.

parity(x, [n])
// x: an int32
// n: number of bits (1)

const xbit = require('extra-bit');

xbit.parity(7);
// → 1 (1,1,1 ⇒ 1)

xbit.parity(5);
// → 0 (1,0,1 ⇒ 0)

xbit.parity(8, 2);
// → 2 (10,00 ⇒ 10)

xbit.parity(63, 4);
// → 12 (11,1111 ⇒ 1100)
