ee.Number.bitwiseXor

AI-generated Key Takeaways

The bitwiseXor method calculates the bitwise XOR of two number values.
This method is called on a Number object ( left ) and takes another number ( right ) as an argument.
It returns a Number which is the result of the bitwise XOR operation.
Examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python, illustrating how to use the method with 8-bit binary representation and showing the expected output.

Calculates the bitwise XOR of the input values.

Usage	Returns
`Number. bitwiseXor (right)`	Number

Argument	Type	Details
this: `left`	Number	The left-hand value.
`right`	Number	The right-hand value.
