	 	| Question : |  
	 		| What is Parity ? |  
	 	| Answer :
 |  
	 		| When two integers are both odd or both even they are said to have the same parity. |  
	 		| If one is odd and the other even, 
			then they are said to have different parity. |  
	 		| For Example, |  
	 		| 6 and 14 have the same parity (since both are even), whereas 7 and 12 have opposite parity (since 7 is odd  and 12 is even). |  |
