Definition and Usage
The xor keyword is a logical operator.
Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements.
The return value will only be true if one of the statements is true and the other one is
false.
Note: This operator has lower precedence than the assignment operator, which may lead to confusing results. Wrap the expression in parentheses to avoid unexpected results.
