# BITXOR Function

The BITXOR function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to return a bitwise 'XOR' of two numbers.

The BITXOR function syntax is:

BITXOR(number1, number2)

where

number1 is a numeric value in decimal form greater than or equal to 0,

number2 is a numeric value in decimal form greater than or equal to 0.

The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.

The value of each bit position is 1 when the bit positions of the parameters are different.

To apply the BITXOR function,

1. select the cell where you wish to display the result,
2. click the Insert function icon situated at the top toolbar,
   or right-click within a selected cell and select the Insert Function option from the menu,
   or click the icon situated at the formula bar,
3. select the Engineering function group from the list,
4. click the BITXOR function,
5. enter the required arguments separating them by comma,
6. press the Enter button.

The result will be displayed in the selected cell.
