Dec 27, 2010 · Javascript has a bitwise XOR operator : ^ You can use it with booleans and it will give the result as a 0 or 1 (which you can convert back to boolean, e.g. result = !!(op1 ^ op2)). But as John said, it's equivalent to result = (op1 != op2), which is clearer. You can use it as a logical xor. true^true is 0, and false^true is 1.

Mar 13, 2025 · The bitwise XOR (^) operator returns a number or BigInt whose binary representation has a 1 in each bit position for which the corresponding bits of either but not both operands are 1.

JavaScript Bitwise XOR. When a bitwise XOR is performed on a pair of bits, it returns 1 if the bits are different:

XOR (exclusive OR) is a boolean operator, like && and ||, but with the following logic: It is successful if the expression on either side is true (like ||), but not if both sides are true (like !( x && y )).

Feb 25, 2010 · Unfortunately, JavaScript does not have a logical XOR operator. You can "emulate" the behaviour of the XOR operator with something like: if( !foo != !bar ) { ... } The linked article discusses a couple of alternative approaches.

Apr 22, 2024 · In JavaScript, the bitwise XOR(^) Operator is used to compare two operands and return a new binary number which is 1 if both the bits in operators are different and 0 if both the bits in operands are the same.

Example 3: Bitwise XOR Operator // bitwise XOR operator example let a = 12; let b = 25; result = a ^ b; console.log(result); // 21 When bitwise XOR operation is performed, the binary result will be 00000000000000000000000000010101 which converts into the decimal value 21 .

1 day ago · In this example, you will learn how the Bitwise XOR operator works in JavaScript. The XOR (^) operator compares two binary values and returns one whose bits are different. 4. Bitwise NOT (~) Bitwise NOT operator inverts bits of operands. It changes 0 to 1 and 1 to 0. As a result, we get a binary complement of the respective number.

Nov 11, 2022 · The bitwise XOR operator (^) compares 32-bit integers for their bit values and returns a new 32-bit integer, which is a summation of all of the differing bits (where one operand has a 0 and the other a 1) in the expression.

What is a Bitwise Operator? A bitwise operator is a symbol or keyword that tells the computer what operation to perform, bit by bit, on values or variables. See this page for an overview of other types of operators. The most common bitwise operators are: & (Bitwise AND) | (Bitwise OR) ^ (Bitwise XOR) ~ (Bitwise NOT) << (Left shift) >> (Right shift)
