XOR and Bitwise Operators Truth Table

As we saw previously, Python and Rust use the same symbols for bitwise symbols AND, OR , and XOR.

& is the bitwise AND, | is the bitwise OR , and ^ is the bitwise XOR (exclusive OR). You can see the truth table and the Venn diagram below.

a	b	AND: a & b	OR: a \| b	XOR: a ^ b
T	T	1	1	0
T	F	0	1	1
F	T	1	1	1
F	F	0	0	0

When you use XOR with even numbers of the same number, the output is always 0.

In Rust, you can use {:#b} to print binary.

fn main() {
    // xor with even numbers of the same number output 0
    println!("0 ^ 0 = {}", 0 ^ 0);
    println!("Binary: 0 ^ 0 = {:#b}", 0 ^ 0);
    println!("1 ^ 1 = {}", 1 ^ 1);
    println!("Binary: 1 ^ 1 = {:#b}", 1 ^ 1);
    println!("2 ^ 2 = {}", 2 ^ 2);
    println!("Binary: 2 ^ 2 = {:#b}", 2 ^ 2);
    println!("3 ^ 5 ^ 3 ^ 5 = {}", 3 ^ 5 ^ 3 ^ 5);
    println!("Binary: 3 ^ 5 ^ 3 ^ 5 = {:#b}", 3 ^ 5 ^ 3 ^ 5);
    // xor with odd numbers of the same number won't output 0 
    println!("1 ^ 1 ^ 1 = {}", 1 ^ 1 ^ 1);
    println!("Binary: 1 ^ 1 ^ 1 = {:#b}", 1 ^ 1 ^ 1);
    println!("1 ^ 1 ^ 5 = {}", 1 ^ 1 ^ 5);
    println!("Binary: 1 ^ 1 ^ 5 = {:#b}", 1 ^ 1 ^ 5);
}
