For one argument xor(x1) returns x1. For two arguments, xor(x1,x2) returns the bitwise exclusive or of x1 and x2. For each bit pair: 0 0 xor returns 0 0 1 xor returns 1 1 0 xor returns 1 1 1 xor returns 0 For more than two arguments, xor(x1,x2,x3, ..., xn) returns: xor(...xor(xor(x1,x2), x3), ... xn) EXAMPLE ; print xor(2), xor(5, 3, -7, 2, 9) 2 10 LIMITS The number of arguments is not to exceed 1024.
