In mathematics, "parity" refers to the property of an integer's evenness or oddness. Specifically, an integer is said to be **even** if it is divisible by 2 (i.e., it can be expressed in the form \\(2k\\) where \\(k\\) is an integer), and it is **odd** if it is not divisible by 2 (i.e., it can be expressed in the form \\(2k + 1\\)).
