What Does Exclusive Or (XOR) Mean?
Exclusive or (XOR, EOR or EXOR) is a logical operator which results true when either of the operands are true (one is true and the other one is false) but both are not true and both are not false. In logical condition making, the simple “or” is a bit ambiguous when both operands are true. Because in that case it is very difficult to understand what exactly satisfies the condition. To remove this ambiguity, the “exclusive” term has been added to “or” to make it more clear in meaning.
Techopedia Explains Exclusive Or (XOR)
The exclusive or is very clear in meaning when trying to eliminate the true/false states of various operands in the conditional expression. The expression using an exclusive or is true if and only if one operand is true and the other is false, assuming two operands are participating in the expression.
