XOR result different with PC application

[Pic2008]

In Picbasic Pro,

a var word
b var word
c var word


c = a ^ b

But using PC to calculate XOR between a and b, I got a different value than c above.

In both of these cases, when I XOR the result back with b, I can get back a.

Any idea?

[Charles Linquis]

Because "^" is a PBP command for a BITWISE (bit-by-bit) exclusive or. The PC is using a LOGICAL exclusive or. To get the same result as the PC, use the "^^" or XOR PBP commands.

[Darrel Taylor]

c = a ^ b

On a PC, that means a to the power of b.
