The parity of a permutation refers to whether the permutation is even or odd based on the number of transpositions it can be decomposed into. - A **transposition** is a permutation that swaps two elements while leaving all others unchanged. - A permutation is classified as **even** if it can be expressed as a product of an even number of transpositions, and it is classified as **odd** if it can be expressed as a product of an odd number of transpositions.
