Prerequisite: BigInteger Basics The xor(BigInteger val) method returns bitwise-XOR of two bigIntegers. This method returns a negative BigInteger if and only if exactly one of the current bigInteger and the bigInteger passed in parameter id negative. The xor() method of BigInteger class apply bitwise-XOR operation upon the current BigInteger and BigInteger passed as parameter.
Syntax:
public BigInteger xor(BigInteger val)
Parameters: The method accepts one parameter val of BigInteger type and refers to the value to be XOR’ed with this BigInteger.
Return Value: The method returns bitwise-XOR of the current BigInteger with the BigInteger val.
Examples:
Input: value1 = 2300 , value2 = 3400 Output: 1460 Explanation: Binary of 2300 = 100011111100 Binary of 3400 = 110101001000 XOR of 100011111100 and 110101001000 = 10110110100 Decimal of 10110110100 = 1460. Input: value1 = 54298 , value2 = 64257 Output: 12059
Below program illustrate the xor() method of BigInteger Class:
/* *Program Demonstrate xor() method of BigInteger */ import java.math.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create 2 BigInteger objects
BigInteger biginteger = new BigInteger(" 2300 ");
BigInteger val = new BigInteger(" 3400 ");
// Call xor() method to find this ^ val
BigInteger biggerInteger = biginteger.xor(val);
String result = "Result of XOR operation between " + biginteger + " and "
+ val + " is " + biggerInteger;
// Print result
System.out.println(result);
}
