Returns the result of a bitwise exclusive OR operation performed on two numeric values.
Syntax
BITXOR(nExpression1, nExpression2)
Returns
Numeric
Arguments
nExpression1, nExpression2
Specifies the numeric values on which the bitwise exclusive OR operation is performed. If nExpression1 and nExpression2 are not integers, they are converted to integers before the bitwise exclusive OR operation is performed.
Remarks
BITXOR( ) compares each bit in nExpression1 to the corresponding bit in nExpression2. If one bit is 0 and the other bit is 1, the corresponding result bit is set to 1. Otherwise, the corresponding result bit is set to 0.
The following table shows the result of an exclusive OR operation on corresponding nExpression1 and nExpression2 bits:
| nExpression1 bit | nExpression2 bit | Result bit |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 |
