11.4 The Bitwise Exclusive OR (^)

The exclusive OR (also known as XOR) operator results in a 1 when either of its two operands is a 1, but not both. The truth table for the exclusive OR operator is listed in Table 11-5.

Table 11-5. Bitwise exclusive OR operator

Bit1	Bit2	Bit1 ^ Bit2
	1	1
1		1
1	1

Here's an example of bitwise exclusive OR performed on a byte:

 i1=0x47       01000111  ^      i2=0x53       01010011 ______________________________          0x14        00010100
