bit_manipulation.binary_xor_operator

Bitwise XOR helper.

Return a zero-padded binary string representing a ^ b where the width is the maximum bit length of the inputs. Only non-negative integers are accepted.

>>> binary_xor(25, 32)
'0b111001'
>>> binary_xor(37, 50)
'0b010111'
>>> binary_xor(21, 30)
'0b01011'
>>> binary_xor(58, 73)
'0b1110011'
>>> binary_xor(0, 255)
'0b11111111'
>>> binary_xor(256, 256)
'0b000000000'

Invalid inputs raise clear exceptions:

>>> binary_xor(0, -1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: inputs must be non-negative integers
>>> binary_xor(0, 1.1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: inputs must be integers
>>> binary_xor("0", "1")
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: inputs must be integers
