Verified answer
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Design an odd-parity circuit. This is a circuit that has three inputs and one output. The circuit outputs a 1 if and only if an even number [0 or 2] of its inputs are a 1. Otherwise, the circuit outputs a 0. Thus the sum of the number of 1 bits in the input and the output is always an odd number. [This circuit is used in error checking. By adding up the number of 1 bits, we can determine whether any single input bit was accidentally changed. If it was, the total number of 1s is an even number when we know it should be an odd value.]
