The program reads two integers a and b from the user and then performs a bitwise XOR operation on these two integers. The bitwise XOR operator is represented by the symbol ^ in C programming language.
Bitwise XOR or exclusive OR (XOR) is a binary operation that takes two bit patterns of equal length and performs the logical exclusive OR operation on each pair of corresponding bits. The result in each position is 1 if only the first bit is 1 or only the second bit is 1, but will be 0 if both are 0 or both are 1.
The result of the XOR operation between a and b is stored in the variable c and then displayed on the screen using the printf function.
In the example provided, if the user inputs a=8 and b=2, the program will perform the XOR operation as follows:
1 2 3 4 | a = 1000 (binary)b = 0010 (binary)----------c = 1010 (binary) = 10 (decimal) |
Thus, the program will output the result 10 on the screen.
Thanks
