      n 1: (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" [syn: para]
      2: (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: (computer science) abit that is used in an error detection
         procedure in which a 0 or 1 is 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 [syn: parity bit, check bit]
      4: (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 [syn: conservation
         of parity, space-reflection symmetry, mirror symmetry]
      5: functional equality
