^ (binary XOR) operator in c.

Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both.




Consider the following program:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{   int i,j,k;

 i=11^5;

 j=12^3;

 k=15^4;

 printf("\n%d\n%d\n%d",i,j,k);

    }

output:

 14

 15

 11

Explanation:

i=11^5

converting to binary

i=1011^0101=1110

1110 in decimal is 14

so i=14

j=12^3
converting to binary
i=1100^0011=1111
1111 in decimal is 15
so j=15

i=15^4
converting to binary
i=1111^0100=1011
1011 in decimal is 11
so i=11
