Difference between Bitwise OR and Exclusive OR

Difference between Bitwise OR and Exclusive OR

Bitwise Or

1. Takes 2 patterns of equal length and performs the logical inclusive OR operation
2. forces a bit to be set ON in a sequence where corresponding mask bit is one
3. Example
1. 0101(5)
2. 0011(3)
3. 0111(7) // Output

Exclusive OR

1. Returns XOR logical Exclusive OR outputs true when both inputs differ
2. Truth Table
1. 0 0 0
2. 0 1 1
3. 1 0 1
4. 1 1 1
