RAM parity

Okay kiddo, you know how a computer remembers things like your favorite game or your family photos? Well, it needs something called RAM (Random Access Memory) to do that.

But sometimes, bad things can happen to the RAM and it gets messed up. And that's where RAM parity comes in. It's like having a special guardian for the RAM who checks if everything is okay.

Think of it like having a toy box with a special lid that can tell you if one of your toys is missing. If you take out a toy and forget to put it back, the special lid will make a loud noise to let you know something is wrong.

In the same way, RAM parity checks if all the memory in the RAM is okay, and if it's not, it will make sure your computer knows something is wrong, usually with some kind of error message.

So RAM parity is like a safety feature that helps your computer make sure it's using good, reliable memory to remember all the important things you do on it.
