The parity question - parity is used as a basic form of crc (cyclic redundancy check) I am a little confused why you would want a Parity bit, we are not transferring any data here, unless your asking if the resultant has an odd or even sum of of digits?.
Odd/even parity in which case the answer is plain, count the digits yourself.
Unless you have not made your question too clear, or I am not reading it correctly.

I wonder if he was thinking about the Borrow bit.

The Parity bit - keeping track of odd/even number of bits - would be affected by the total number of digits in the number, i.e. how many bits away the sign bit is.

The danger about being too tricky is that the result may be an involuntary trick question.

What a strange personality challenging question, why?

This is where you lost me....guess I am not a man

And I agree with Gracie....Ya'll are weird.

Wow!! Nerd wars.!!

It must be the years of computer gaming that brings out the hostility.

no no... this is nerd play, in nerd wars routers and computers get fried

But a serious statement for once, without the nerds/geeks etc, you would all still be shooting film.

I don't play many games on the computer anymore, I spend more time making them now. More fun less attitudes, so in some ways your comment could be valid belmondo.

Grace...I didn't even know that there was y'all and ya'll....must be a North Texas thing:p. On that note, here is a link to a website from another thread that I found that describes Texas/Texans very well so you can get a good idea Forkball.

Shouldn't it still be y'all (whether it's y'all or all y'all)?

Otherwise what does the ' denote in ya'll? Makes no sense.

(from a real nit picker!)

With a Texas drawl: Ya=You and 'll=all so add them together and ya get ya'll

Ok I get ya.
