Example of XOR Operator in Python

Question

Can someone give a suitable example of the XOR Operator in Python ? I understand its definition but couldn’t implement it. So, please explain with a suitable example.

Thanks in advance

This is a fair enough implementation:

def xor(a:bool, b:bool)->bool:
    return (not a) == (b)

Wouldn't this return only `True` or `False` ? – CoolCoder Apr 30 '21 at 01:45
If they're both actually `bool`, you can just test `a != b`. – ShadowRanger Apr 30 '21 at 01:45
@CoolCoder: Which is correct for a boolean xor, just not bitwise xor. – ShadowRanger Apr 30 '21 at 01:46
And if they're not, `bool(a) != bool(b)` – Shadow Apr 30 '21 at 01:46
