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 \(2k + 1\)).
