I was reading Microsoft documentation and came across bitwise exclusive OR operator. Could someone explain what does operator ^ represents in code below? I assume it is not a pointer as it would be * rather than ^.

private:
        Windows::Web::Http::HttpClient^ httpClient;
        Windows::Web::Http::HttpResponseMessage^ response;

I think you found c++/CLI code. Check this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/202463/what-does-the-caret-mean-in-c-cli – AdamF Jul 07 '15 at 18:31

That's a managed pointer, not a bitwise-XOR. See linked dupe. – tzaman Jul 07 '15 at 18:31
That is not the XOR operator and the language is not C++. – R Sahu Jul 07 '15 at 18:31
@RSahu Microsoft says it is C++ Source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/dn440594 – Stealth Jul 07 '15 at 18:33
@Stealth, It is "managed C++", not "standard C++". – R Sahu Jul 07 '15 at 18:34
