operator.ixor

in-place

In-place bitwise XOR: a ^= b.

Syntax

operator.ixor(a, b)

For a set it mutates in place into the symmetric difference: ixor({1, 2}, {2, 3}) gives {1, 3}. For ints assign the result; this toggles bits: flags = ixor(flags, MASK) flips exactly the bits set in the mask.

Examples

import operator
from functools import reduce
print(operator.ixor(5, 3))   # → 6
print(reduce(operator.ixor, [4, 7, 4, 7, 9]))   # → 9
flags = 0b1010
print(bin(operator.ixor(flags, 0b0010)))   # → 0b1000
s = {1, 2, 3}
print(sorted(operator.ixor(s, {3, 4})))   # → [1, 2, 4]
print(sorted(s))   # → [1, 2, 4]
