Understanding XOR Operations
The XOR (Exclusive OR) operation returns true only when inputs differ (one is true, the other is false). It's commonly used in cryptography, error detection, and digital circuits.
XOR Truth Table
- 0 XOR 0 = 0
- 0 XOR 1 = 1
- 1 XOR 0 = 1
- 1 XOR 1 = 0
Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is XOR used for?
XOR is commonly used in cryptography, error detection, and creating toggle mechanisms. It's also useful for finding unique elements in data sets.
How does XOR work?
XOR compares bits and returns 1 only when the bits are different. It's useful for toggling bits and creating reversible operations.
Why use different number formats?
Different formats (binary, decimal, hex) are useful for different applications. Binary shows the bit-level operation, while decimal and hex are more compact.
