Syntax

Description

example

C = xor(A,B) performs a logical exclusive-OR of arrays A and B and returns an array containing elements set to either logical 1 (true) or logical 0 (false). An element of the output array is set to logical 1 (true) if A or B, but not both, contains a nonzero element at that same array location. Otherwise, the array element is set to 0.

Open Script

Create a truth table for xor.

A = [true false]

A =

  1×2 logical array

   1   0


B = [true; false]

B =

  2×1 logical array

   1
   0


C = xor(A,B)

C =

  2×2 logical array

   0   1
   1   0

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input arrays, specified as scalars, vectors, matrices, or multidimensional arrays. Inputs A and B must either be the same size or have sizes that are compatible (for example, A is an M-by-N matrix and B is a scalar or 1-by-N row vector). For more information, see Compatible Array Sizes for Basic Operations.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | logical | char
