ee.Number.bitwiseXor

Page Summary

• The bitwiseXor method calculates the bitwise XOR of two number values.

• This method is called on a Number object (left) and takes another number (right) as an argument.

• It returns a Number which is the result of the bitwise XOR operation.

• Examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python, illustrating how to use the method with 8-bit binary representation and showing the expected output.

Calculates the bitwise XOR of the input values.

Usage	Returns
Number.bitwiseXor(right)	Number

Argument	Type	Details
this: left	Number	The left-hand value.
right	Number	The right-hand value.
