bitxor — Compute the bitwise exclusive OR of integer-valued arrays.
C = bitxor(A,B) computes a bitwise exclusive OR. Compatible array sizes use implicit expansion, while the optional assumedtype interprets integer-valued double input using a named integer class.
Syntax
C = bitxor(A, B)
C = bitxor(A, B, assumedtype)Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A | NumericArray | Yes | — | Left integer-valued input. |
B | NumericArray | Yes | — | Right integer-valued input. |
assumedtype | StringScalar | No | — | Integer class used to interpret double inputs. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
C | NumericArray | Bitwise numeric result. |
Errors
| Identifier | When | Message |
|---|---|---|
RunMat:bitwise:InvalidInput | Inputs are not finite integer-valued numeric, logical, or gatherable gpuArray values. | bitwise operation: invalid input |
RunMat:bitwise:SizeMismatch | Input shapes violate the operation's expansion rule: binary bitwise functions use compatible-size expansion, while bit positions/counts require scalar expansion or exactly matching nonscalar sizes. | bitwise operation: array sizes are not compatible |
How bitxor works
- All eight integer classes are supported on the host and preserve their class.
- Inputs must share an integer class unless the companion is an allowed scalar double.
- Logical inputs produce logical output and compatible nonscalar sizes use MATLAB implicit expansion.
- Supported gpuArray forms return resident output; signed, 64-bit, and assumedtype GPU forms are rejected in MATLAB-compatible mode.
Using bitxor with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how bitxor changes the result.
Run a small bitxor example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
