DWITE Online Computer Programming Contest, February 2008, Problem 3
A parity bit is a binary digit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with a value of in a given set of bits is always even or odd. Parity bits are used as a simple validation code, for example, to test that all the data has arrived correctly in a transmission. For this question we'll be using even parity bit – that is, we want to add a bit ( or ) so that the total number of high bits () is even.
For example, consider integer . The binary representation of is 1101
. The number of high bits in 1101
is , which is odd. To make it even, the parity bit must also be high, so .
The input will contain 5 lines, integers .
The output will contain 5 lines – a single integer, or , representing a bit that needs to be added to form an even parity.
