BitXor Function (Binary, Binary)

X#
Perform a bitwise exclusive OR operation on two or more values of Numeric, Varbinary, or Blob type and returns the result. There is a numeric and a binary version of the syntax.

Namespace:  XSharp.VFP
Assembly:  XSharp.VFP (in XSharp.VFP.dll) Version: 2.19
Syntax
 FUNCTION BitXor(
	Arg1 AS BINARY,
	Arg2 PARAMS BINARY[]
) AS BINARY

Parameters

Arg1
Type: Binary
Specifies Varbinary or Blob values to perform the bitwise AND operation.
Arg2
Type: Binary
Specifies Varbinary or Blob values to perform the bitwise AND operation.

Return Value

Type: Binary
Numeric or Varbinary. BitXOR( ) returns the result of the bitwise exclusive OR operation performed on the specified expressions.
For Varbinary or Blob values, the return value is calculated as if all values are padded with 0h00 on the right of the value up to the length of the longest value. The appropriate operation is then performed between those values.
Remarks
BitXOR( ) compares each bit in eExpressionN to the corresponding bit in eExpressionN+1. If the bits in eExpressionN and eExpressionN+1 are the same, the corresponding result bit is set to 0; otherwise, the corresponding result bit is set to 1.
The following table shows the result of an exclusive OR operation on corresponding eExpressionN and eExpressionN+1 bits:
eExpressionN biteExpressionN+1 bitResult bit

011
101
110
Examples
X#
1Var1 = 5  // 0101 binary value
2Var2 = 6  // 0110 binary value
3? BitXOR(Var1,Var2) // returns 3 (0011 binary value)
