BigInteger.ExclusiveOr(BigInteger, BigInteger) Operator

Definition

Performs a bitwise exclusive Or (XOr) operation on two BigInteger values.

C#
public static System.Numerics.BigInteger operator ^(System.Numerics.BigInteger left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

Parameters

left
BigInteger

The first value.

right
BigInteger

The second value.

Returns

The result of the bitwise Or operation.

Implements

Remarks

The result of a bitwise exclusive Or operation is true if the values of the two bits are different; otherwise, it is false. The following table illustrates the exclusive Or operation.

Bit x in left Bit x in right Return value
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0

The ExclusiveOr method enables code such as the following:

C#
BigInteger number1 = BigInteger.Pow(2, 127);
BigInteger number2 = BigInteger.Multiply(163, 124);
BigInteger result = number1 ^ number2;

The ExclusiveOr method performs the bitwise exclusive Or operation on two BigInteger values as if they were both in two's complement representation with virtual sign extension.
