Hi All,

I am working on computing Xor operation, but i could not exactly compute the proper result. Please help me to find a solution.

If we "true" and "false", how to compute XOR operation to get the final result?

Regards,
Amal Raj

What I have tried:

I have tried like:
result = s1 ^ s2; // here s1= "true", s2= "false"

The problem is, you are using the Boolean values as string ["true","false"] instead of [true, false]
if you use string values you will the result as 0 in all the combination

try parsing it to a boolean value and XOR it

JavaScript

var s1 = "true", s2 = "false";
        var s1Bool = s1 === "true"; // true
        var s2Bool = s2 === "true"; // false  
        result = s1Bool ^ s2Bool; // 1

^ is the JS XOR, and it works:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p>This example calls a function which performs a calculation, and returns the result:</p>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
function doXOR(a,b) {
var result = a ^ b;
return result;
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = doXOR(true, true);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += doXOR(true, false);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += doXOR(false, false);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += doXOR(false, true);
</script>

</body>
</html>

It gives 0101 when executed for me...I'd check your code is executing.
