bitxor

Function: bitxor
Section: conversions
C-Name: gbitxor
Prototype: GG
Help: bitxor(x,y): bitwise "exclusive or" of two integers x and y.
 Negative numbers behave as if modulo big power of 2.
Description:
 (small, small):small:parens        $(1)^$(2)
 (gen, gen):int        gbitxor($1, $2)
Doc:
 bitwise (exclusive) \tet{or}
 \sidx{bitwise exclusive or}of two integers $x$ and $y$, that is the integer
 $$\sum (x_i~\kbd{xor}~y_i) 2^i$$

 See \secref{se:bitand} for the behavior for negative arguments.
Variant: Also available is
 \fun{GEN}{ibitxor}{GEN x, GEN y}, which returns the bitwise \emph{xor}
 of $|x|$ and $|y|$, two integers.
