The bitwise xor operator (^) performs bitwise xor on two expressions. Usage:

result = expression1 ^ expression2

Where result is any variable. Expression1 is any expression. Expression2 is any expression.

Description of the bitwise xor operator The ^ operator looks at the value of the binary representation of two expressions and performs bitwise xor. The result of this operation is as follows:

0101 (expression1) 1100 (expression2) ---- 1001 (result)

The resulting bit is 1 if, and only if, one of the members of an expression is 1. Otherwise the resulting bit is 0.
