bxor (number, number)

		

Arguments

number

Any number. Non-numbers are treated as zero.

Returns

An integer which is the result of the particular operation.

Description

The binary operations cast their arguments to integers, and then perform bitwise operations to produce an integer result.

    band bitwise AND

    bnot bitwise NOT (inversion of all bits in a 32-bit word)

    bor bitwise OR

    bxor bitwise exclusive OR (XOR)
