instance method

Integer#^

(::Integer) -> ::Integer

self ^ other → integer

VALUE
rb_int_xor(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    if (FIXNUM_P(x)) {
        return fix_xor(x, y);
    }
    else if (RB_BIGNUM_TYPE_P(x)) {
        return rb_big_xor(x, y);
    }
    return Qnil;
}

Bitwise EXCLUSIVE OR; each bit in the result is 1 if the corresponding bits in self and other are different, 0 otherwise:

Example

"%04b" % (0b0101 ^ 0b0110) # => "0011"

Raises an exception if other is not an Integer.
