Xor Operator

For Boolean expressions, returns “true” if they have different values. For integer expressions, does a bitwise XOR operation.

Syntax

expression_1 Xor expression_2

Parts

expression_1

A Boolean or integer expression.

expression_2

A Boolean or integer expression.

Instructions

For Boolean expressions, the result is true only if expression_1 and expression_2 hold different values at the same time. The table that follows shows how to find this result.

For bitwise operations, the operator Xor compares each bit at the same position in the two numeric expressions. The table that follows shows how to calculate the bit in the result.

Note: The logical and bitwise operators have lower precedence than the arithmetic and relational operators. Thus, we recommend that you put parentheses around bitwise operations to make sure they give correct results.

Examples

Var a = 255, b = 170, c = 85
Var a_xor_b = a Xor b
Var a_xor_c = a Xor c
Var b_xor_c = b Xor c
