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 )
`
Usage
`
lhs Xor= rhs
`
Parameters
`lhs`
The variable to assign to.
`T1`
Any numeric type.
`rhs`
The value to perform a bitwise-xor (exclusive or) with `lhs`.
`T2`
Any numeric type.
Description
This operator performs a bitwise-or and assigns the result to a variable. 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.
Example
`
Dim As UByte a = &b00110011
Dim As UByte b = &b01010101
a Xor= b
'' Result a = &b01100110
Print Bin(a)
`
