BitSet Class xor() method

• xor() method is available in java.util package.
• xor() method is used to perform logical XOR between this BitSet and the given BitSet.
• xor() method is a non-static method, so it is accessible with the class object and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• xor() method does not throw an exception at the time of performing XOR operation.

Syntax:

    public void xor(BitSet bs);

Parameter(s):

• BitSet bs – represents a bit set.

Return value:

The return type of the method is void, it returns nothing.

Example:

// Java Program to demonstrate the example of
// void xor(BitSet bs) method of Calendar

import java.util.*;

public class XOROfBitSet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // create an object of two BitSet
        BitSet bs1 = new BitSet(10);
        BitSet bs2 = new BitSet(10);

        // By using set() method is to set
        //the values in BitSet 1 
        bs1.set(10);
        bs1.set(20);
        bs1.set(30);
        bs1.set(40);
        bs1.set(50);

        // By using set() method is to set
        // the values in BitSet 2 
        bs2.set(60);
        bs2.set(70);
        bs2.set(50);
        bs2.set(40);
        bs2.set(30);

        // Display Bitset1 and BitSet2
        System.out.println("bs1: " + bs1);
        System.out.println("bs2: " + bs2);

        // By using xor() method is to perform
        // logical XOR between two BitSet(i.e. It returns
        // non-common values)
        bs1.xor(bs2);

        // Display BitSet 1
        System.out.println("bs1.xor(bs2): " + bs1);
    }
}

Output

bs1: {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}
bs2: {30, 40, 50, 60, 70}
bs1.xor(bs2): {10, 20, 60, 70}
