!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] (Exclusive OR) is a [Bitwise operation] which is used in bit manipulation and on [Bitmasks]

[{$pagename}]take two equal-length [bit] patterns.
* outputs a 1 whenever the inputs __do NOT match__ ([False] as any non-zero value is considered [false])
* outputs a 0 ONLY WHEN the inputs __do match__ ([True])

!! [{$pagename}] [Examples]
So in these [examples]
* 0 XOR 0 = 0 = [true]
* 0 XOR 1 = 1 = [false]
* 1 XOR 0 = 1 = [false]
* 1 XOR 1 = 0 = [true]

If both [bits] in the compared position of the [bit patterns] are 0 or 1, the bit in the resulting bit pattern is 0, otherwise 1.
