Operator Xor= (Exclusive Disjunction And Assign)

Performs a bitwise-xor (exclusive disjunction) and assigns the result to a variable

Syntax

Declare Operator Xor= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )

Parameters

• lhs
• T1
• rhs
• lhs
• T2

Description

This operator performs a bitwise-or and assigns the result to a variable (for conversion of a boolean to an integer, false or true boolean value becomes 0 or -1 integer value). It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs Xor rhs

Xor= compares each bit of its operands, lhs and rhs, and if both bits are the same (both 1 or both 0), then the corresponding bit in the first operand, lhs, is set to 0, otherwise it is set to 1.

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operator using the appropriate syntax.

Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol 'Xor=>' can be also used.

Remarks

Usage

lhs Xor= rhs

Dialect Differences

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB

• New to FreeBASIC

Examples

Dim As UByte a = &b00110011

Dim As UByte b = &b01010101

a Xor= b

'' Result    a = &b01100110

Print Bin(a)
