# Instructions
2+
3+
Your job is to help implement
4+
5+
- the transmitter, which calculates the transmission sequence, and
6+
- the receiver, which decodes it.
7+
8+
A parity bit is simple way of detecting transmission errors.
9+
The transmitters and receivers can only transmit and receive _exactly_ eight bits at a time (including the parity bit).
10+
The parity bit is set so that there is an _even_ number of 1 bits in each transmission, and the parity bit is always the first bit from the right.
11+
So if the receiver receives `11000001`, `01110101` or `01000000` (i.e. a transmission with an odd number of 1 bits), it knows there is an error.
12+
13+
However, messages are rarely this short, and need to be transmitted in a sequence when they are longer.
14+
15+
For example, consider the message `11000000 00000001 11000000 11011110` (or `C0 01 C0 DE` in hex).
16+
17+
Since each transmission contains exactly eight bits, it can only contain seven bits of data and the parity bit.
18+
A parity bit must then be inserted after every seven bits of data:
19+
20+
```text
21+
11000000 00000001 11000000 11011110
22+
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ (7th bits)
23+
```
24+
25+
The transmission sequence for this message looks like this:
26+
27+
```text
28+
1100000_ 0000000_ 0111000_ 0001101_ 1110
29+
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ (parity bits)
30+
```
31+
32+
The data in the first transmission in the sequence (`1100000`) has two 1 bits (an even number), so the parity bit is 0.
33+
The first transmission becomes `11000000` (or `C0` in hex).
34+
35+
The data in the next transmission (`0000000`) has zero 1 bits (an even number again), so the parity bit is 0 again.
36+
The second transmission thus becomes `00000000` (or `00` in hex).
37+
38+
The data for the next two transmissions (`0111000` and `0001101`) have three 1 bits.
39+
Their parity bits are set to 1 so that they have an even number of 1 bits in the transmission.
40+
They are transmitted as `01110001` and `00011011` (or `71` and `1B` in hex).
41+
42+
The last transmission (`1110`) has only four bits of data.
43+
Since exactly eight bits are transmitted at a time and the parity bit is the rightmost bit, three 0 bits and then the parity bit are added to make up eight bits.
44+
It now looks like this (where `_` is the parity bit):
45+
46+
```text
47+
1110 000_
48+
↑↑↑ (added 0 bits)
49+
```
50+
51+
There is an odd number of 1 bits again, so the parity bit is 1.
52+
The last transmission in the sequence becomes `11100001` (or `E1` in hex).
53+
54+
The entire transmission sequence for this message is `11000000 00000000 01110001 00011011 11100001` (or `C0 00 71 1B E1` in hex).

# Introduction
2+
3+
Trillions upon trillions of messages zip between Earth and neighboring galaxies every millisecond.
4+
But transmitting over such long distances is tricky.
5+
Pesky solar flares, temporal distortions, stray forces, and even the flap of a space butterfly's wing can cause a random bit to change during transmission.
6+
7+
Now imagine the consequences:
8+
9+
- Crashing the Intergalactic Share Market when "buy low" turns to "sell now".
10+
- Losing contact with the Kepler Whirl system when "save new worm hole" becomes "cave new worm hole".
11+
- Or plunging the universe into existential horror by replacing a cowboy emoji 🤠 with a clown emoji 🤡.
12+
13+
Detecting corrupted messages isn't just important — it's critical.
14+
The receiver _must_ know when something has gone wrong before disaster strikes.
15+
16+
But how?
17+
Scientists and engineers from across the universe have been battling this problem for eons.
18+
Entire cosmic AI superclusters churn through the data.
19+
And then, one day, a legend resurfaces — an ancient, powerful method, whispered in debugging forums, muttered by engineers who've seen too much...
20+
21+
The Parity Bit!
22+
23+
A method so simple, so powerful, that it might just save interstellar communication.
