Java Bitwise XOR Assignment (^=) Operator

Java Bitwise XOR Assignment

In Java, Bitwise XOR Assignment Operator is used to compute the Bitwise XOR operation between left and right operands, and assign the result back to left operand.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Bitwise XOR Assignment operator in Java, with examples.

The syntax to compute bitwise XOR a value of 2 and value in variable x, and assign the result back to x using Bitwise XOR Assignment Operator is

x ^= 2

Example

In the following example, we take a variable x with an initial value of 9, add bitwise XOR it with value of 2, and assign the result to x, using Bitwise XOR Assignment Operator.

Main.java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 9;
        //bitwise XOR assignment
        x ^= 2;
        System.out.println("x : " + x);
    }
}

Output

x : 11
