BITXOR

BITXOR performs the bitwise XOR comparison of two integers specified by numeric expressions. The bitwise XOR operation compares two integers bit by bit. It returns a bit 1 if only one of the two bits is 1; else, it returns a bit 0.

If either expression1 or expression2 evaluates to the null value, null is returned.

Non integer values are truncated before the operation is performed.

The BITXOR operation is performed on a 32-bit twos-complement word.

NOTE: Differences in hardware architecture can make the use of the high-order bit nonportable

 

 

COMMAND SYNTAX

BITXOR(expression1, expression2)

 

EXAMPLE

PRINT BITXOR(6,12)

* Binary value of 6 = 0110

* Binary value of 12 = 1100

This results in 1010, and the following output is displayed:

10
