10. Parity Checking
Data transmission systems and file subsystems often use a form of error detection that relies on
calculating the parity (even or odd) of blocks of data. Your task is to create a procedure that
returns True in the EAX register if the bytes in an array contain even parity, or False if the parity
is odd. In other words, if you count all the bits in the entire array, their count will be even or odd.
Preserve all other register values between calls to the procedure. Write a test program that calls
your procedure twice, each time passing it a pointer to an array and the length of the array. The
procedure’s return value in EAX should be 1 (True) or 0 (False). For test data, create two arrays
containing at least 10 bytes, one having even parity, and another having odd parity.
Tip: Earlier in this chapter, we showed how you can repeatedly apply the XOR instruction to a
sequence of byte values to determine their p
