Bitwise exclusive OR operator ^

The ^ (bitwise exclusive OR) operator compares each bit of its first operand to the corresponding bit of the second operand.

Note: vector double will not cause IEEE exception.

The following table lists the vector data types accepted as the operands, and the corresponding returned vector data types:
