Bitwise XOR Tool
A low-level diagnostics tool compares two integer flags using the bitwise XOR operation. Given two non-negative integers a and b, return the value of a XOR b. In XOR, each binary bit becomes 1 only when the two corresponding bits are different.
Examples
Example 1
Input:
5 3
Output:
6
Explanation: 5 is 101 in binary and 3 is 011. Their XOR is 110, which is 6.
Approach hint
XOR compares bits independently.
Common mistake
Skipping assumptions, edge cases, or trade-offs can make an otherwise good answer feel incomplete.
