^= bitwise XOR assignment operator

expression1 ^= expression2

Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 ^ expression2. For example, the following two statements are equivalent:

x ^= y; 
x = x ^ y; 

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5

Operands

expression1 : Number - Integers and variables.

expression2 : Number - Integers and variables.

Returns

Number - The result of the bitwise operation.

Example

The following example shows a bitwise XOR assignment (^=) operation:

// 15 decimal = 1111 binary 
var x:Number = 15; 
// 9 decimal = 1001 binary 
var y:Number = 9; 
trace(x ^= y); // returns 6 decimal (0110 binary)
