Bitwise Exclusive Or (XOR)

The XOR instruction performs a bitwise XOR operation using the bits in Source A and Source B and places the result in Dest.

When enabled, the instruction evaluates the bitwise XOR operation:

Dest = Source A XOR Source B

Operands

IMPORTANT: Unexpected operation may occur if:

Output tag operands are overwritten

Members of a structure operand are overwritten

Except when specified, structure operands are shared by multiple instructions.

There are data conversion rules for mixing numeric data types within an instruction. See Data conversions.

Operand	Data Type	Format	Description
Source A	SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL	immediate tag	Value to XOR with Source B. //Float includes REAL and LREAL data types. Tip: Float inputs are converted to integer which may cause an overflow.
Source B	SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL	immediate tag	Value to XOR with Source A. Tip: Float inputs are converted to integer which may cause an overflow.
Dest	SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL	tag	Tag to store result of the instruction. Tip: If the destination type is Float, the resultant value will be converted to Float.

TIP: When integer promotion is required for the inputs, the smaller type is converted to the larger type using
