Swift - Perform the bitwise XOR operation

Here, we will create two integer variables then we will perform a Bitwise XOR (^) operation between both variables and print the result on the console screen.

Swift program to perform the bitwise XOR operation

The source code to perform the bitwise XOR (^) operation is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Swift program to the
// perform bitwise XOR (^) operation

import Swift;

var num1 = 6;
var num2 = 2;
var res = 0;

res = num1 ^ num2;

print(res);

Output

4

...Program finished with exit code 0
Press ENTER to exit console.

Explanation

In the above program, we imported a package Swift to use the print() function using the below statement,

import Swift;

Here, we created two integer variables num1 and num2 that are initialized with 6, 2 respectively. Then we performed the bitwise XOR (^) operation between the num1 and num2 variables. After that, we printed the result on the console screen.

Evolution of expression:

res = num1 ^ num2
res = 6 ^ 2

The binary equivalent of 6 is 110.
The binary equivalent of 2 is 010.
Then
110
010
====
010

That is 4.
