XOR and Bitwise Operators Truth Table
As we saw previously, Python and Rust use the same symbols for bitwise symbols AND, OR , and XOR.
& is the bitwise AND, | is the bitwise OR , and ^ is the bitwise XOR (exclusive OR). You can see the truth table and the Venn diagram below.
| a | b | AND: a & b | OR: a | b | XOR: a ^ b |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T | T | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| T | F | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| F | T | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| F | F | 0 | 0 | 0 |
When you use XOR with even numbers of the same number, the output is always 0.
In Rust, you can use {:#b} to print binary.
In Python
