What is the bitwise XOR operator?

July 25th, 2009 by uCertify Leave a reply »

The bitwise XOR operator is a binary operator that produces a 1 bit if exactly one of its operands is 1. Otherwise, it produces a 0 bit. It is denoted by the symbol ^. It can be applied to the integer type operands, i.e., byte, short, char, int, and long. The table given below shows the outcome of the XOR operation when applied to the operands opr1 and opr2:

opr1 opr2 opr1 & opr2
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
