Bitwise exclusive OR (XOR/EOR)

Bitwise XOR operates on two values, for example 0 ^ 1. The result is 1 if the first value or the second value is 1, but not if both are 1 (hence the name "exclusive OR"). As a truth table this would be summarized as follows:

value1	value2	result
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0
