Parity Addition. Example 2.


Problem: 1010 oplus 0011 = ?.

Answer: 1010 oplus 0011 = 1001.

Explanation:

1010
oplus0011

Remember that parity addition does not have a carry! In parity addition:
1 oplus 1 = 0 no carry

first column (from the right) : 0 oplus 1 = 1
second column : 1 oplus 1 = 0
third column : 0 oplus 0 = 0
fourth column : 0 oplus 1 = 1

So our answer is: 1 0 0 1!
