Usage 
result = bit.bitxor(value1, value2) 
 
Result of the logical XOR operation 
Operand for the logical XOR operation 
Operand for the logical XOR operation 
 
Details 
Any fractional parts of value1 and value2 are truncated to make them integers. The returned 
result is also an integer. 
 
Example 
 
testResult = bit.bitxor(10, 9) 
 
print(testResult) 
Performs a logical XOR operation on decimal 10 
(binary 1010) with decimal 9 (binary 1001), which 
returns a value of decimal 3 (binary 0011). 
Output:

Usage 
result = bit.clear(value, index) 
 
Result of the bit manipulation 
One-based bit position within value to clear (1 to 32) 
 
Details 
Any fractional part of value is truncated to make it an integer. The returned result is also an 
integer. 
The least significant bit of value is at index position 1; the most significant bit is at index position 
32. 
 
Example 
 
testResult = bit.clear(15, 2) 
 
print(testResult) 
The binary equivalent of decimal 15 is 1111. If you 
clear the bit at index position 2, the returned 
decimal value is 13 (binary 1101).
