Java BigInteger xor() Method

The xor() method of Java BigInteger class is used to find the Bitwise XOR of two BigIntegers. This method returns a BigInteger whose value is (this ^ val).

Syntax:

Parameter:

val - value to be XOR'ed with this BigInteger.

Returns:

This method returns this ^ val.

Exception:

Note: This method returns a negative BigInteger if and only if exactly one of this and val are negative.

Example 1

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerXorExample1{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
// create 3 BigInteger object
BigInteger big1, big2, big3;
// assign value to big1and big2
big1= new BigInteger("5");  
big2= new BigInteger("2");  
// perform xor operation on big1 and big2 
big3= big1.xor(big2);   
String str = "XOR operation on " + big1+ " and " + big2+" gives "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   

}
}

Test it Now

Output:

XOR operation on 5 and 2 gives 7

Example 2

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerXorExample2{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
// create 3 BigInteger object
BigInteger big1, big2, big3;
// assign value to big1 and big2
big1= new BigInteger("5");  
big2= new BigInteger("-2");  
// perform xor operation on big1 and big2 
big3= big1.xor(big2);   
String str = "XOR operation on " + big1+ " and " + big2+" gives "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   

}
}

Test it Now

Output:

XOR operation on 5 and -2 gives -5

Example 3

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerXorExample3{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
// create 3 BigInteger object
BigInteger big1, big2, big3;
// assign value to big1and big2
big1= new BigInteger("-5");  
big2= new BigInteger("-2");  
// perform xor operation on big1 and big2 
big3= big1.xor(big2);   
String str = "XOR operation on " + big1+ " and " + big2+" gives "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   

}
}
