bxor (number, number)

Arguments

number

Any number. Non-numbers are treated as zero.

Returns

An integer which is the result of the particular operation.

Description

The binary operations cast their arguments to integers, and then perform bitwise operations to produce an integer result.

  • bnot  bitwise NOT (inversion of all bits in a 32-bit word)

  • bor  bitwise OR

  • bxor  bitwise exclusive OR (XOR)
