  2. Exclusive or - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_or

    Similarly, XOR can be used in generating entropy pools for hardware random number generators. The XOR operation preserves randomness, meaning that a random bit XORed with a non-random bit will result in a random bit.

  3. XOR gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_gate

    XOR gate (sometimes EOR, or EXOR and pronounced as Exclusive OR) is a digital logic gate that gives a true (1 or HIGH) output when the number of true inputs is odd. An XOR gate implements an exclusive or ( ↮ {\displaystyle \nleftrightarrow } ) from mathematical logic ; that is, a true output results if one, and only one, of the inputs to the ...

  4. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    Bitwise XOR of 4-bit integers. A bitwise 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 one of the bits is 1, but will be 0 if both are 0 or both are 1.

  5. XOR swap algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_swap_algorithm

    Using the XOR swap algorithm to exchange nibbles between variables without the use of temporary storage. In computer programming, the exclusive or swap (sometimes shortened to XOR swap) is an algorithm that uses the exclusive or bitwise operation to swap the values of two variables without using the temporary variable which is normally required.

  6. Linear-feedback shift register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

    Thus, an LFSR is most often a shift register whose input bit is driven by the XOR of some bits of the overall shift register value. The initial value of the LFSR is called the seed, and because the operation of the register is deterministic, the stream of values produced by the register is completely determined by its current (or previous) state.

    little_endian_table[0] := 0 crc := 1; i := 128 do { if crc and 1 { crc := (crc rightShift 1) xor 0x8408 // The CRC polynomial} else { crc := crc rightShift 1 } // crc is the value of little_endian_table[i]; let j iterate over the already-initialized entries for j from 0 to 255 by 2 × i { little_endian_table[i + j] := crc xor little_endian ...

  8. Truth table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_table

    A truth table has one column for each input variable (for example, A and B), and one final column showing all of the possible results of the logical operation that the table represents (for example, A XOR B). Each row of the truth table contains one possible configuration of the input variables (for instance, A=true, B=false), and the result of ...

  9. Mask (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing)

    This can be achieved using the XOR (exclusive or) operation. XOR returns 1 if and only if an odd number of bits are 1. Therefore, if two corresponding bits are 1, the result will be a 0, but if only one of them is 1, the result will be 1. Therefore inversion of the values of bits is done by XORing them with a 1.
