Thread: Parity check ideas

Hi;

I have a project where i am doing some parity checking.

Basically i have an array that contains values that cant be parity, ie 3,5,9 etc.

A buffer filled with a message of bytes .

So i have a loop to go through buffer.
First byte is check to see if its of an odd parity, if it is odd we set an odd flag, ie not a member of the array above, if it is a member of the array, we check to see if its even parity and if so we set a flag.

go thru each byte till finish with buffer

Basically i am wondering is there a more efficient way of doing this type of parity??

Provide a better example of what you are trying to do along with sample code if you have written any.
Is the array of type char or int? Which buffer element you want to check for parity and why do you want to go thro' ea. element of the buffer?
