BINEOR

Performs a bit by bit exclusive OR (EXOR).

BINEOR( arg, arg )

Where:

arg = numeric-expression rounded to an INTEGER

Usage:

M=BINEOR(J,K)

Toggle=BINEOR(Toggle,4)

Example: BINEOR.BAS

Description:

BINEOR is useful when you want to "toggle" a certain bit or bits. BINEOR(A,B) converts the values of A and B to integers. The integer values of A and B are then treated as unsigned binary numbers. Each bit of the result is set to 1 if exactly one of the corresponding bits for either A or B is 1 and is set to 0 if the corresponding bits of A and B are both 0 or both 1. An example of BINEOR follows:

BINEOR(12,6)

The numbers 12 and 6 are considered binary numbers, then the bitwise exclusive OR is performed.

12 = 0000000000001100

6 = 0000000000000110

BINEOR(12,6) = 0000000000001010

The resulting binary number represents 10.
