Solution Summary

Solution also explains the meaning of "even parity" for a bit sequence.

Solution Preview

Even parity for a bit sequence (single row/column) is achieved when number of 1 bits in "the bit sequence and the parity bit" is even. Which means --

* if number of 1 bits in bit sequence is even, parity bit will be set to 0, and
* if number of 1 bits in bit sequence is odd, parity bit will be set to 1.
