Is there no XOR operator for booleans in golang?
I was trying to do something like b1^b2 but it said it wasn't defined for booleans.

XOR is one of the sixteen possible binary operations on Boolean operands. That means that it takes 2 inputs (it's binary) and produces one output (it's an operation), and the inputs and outputs may only take the values of TRUE or FALSE (it's Boolean) – see Figure 1.
XOR gate (sometimes EOR, or EXOR and pronounced as Exclusive OR) is a digital logic gate that gives a true (1 or HIGH) output when the number of true inputs is odd. An XOR gate implements an exclusive or ( ) from mathematical logic; that is, a true output results if one, and only one, of the inputs to the gate is true.
XOR Operator in Python is also known as “exclusive or” that compares two binary numbers bitwise if two bits are identical XOR outputs as 0 and when two bits are different then XOR outputs as 1. XOR can even be used on booleans.
XOR is a bitwise operator, and it stands for "exclusive or." It performs logical operation. If input bits are the same, then the output will be false(0) else true(1).
There is not. Go does not provide a logical exclusive-OR operator (i.e. XOR over booleans) and the bitwise XOR operator applies only to integers.
However, an exclusive-OR can be rewritten in terms of other logical operators. When re-evaluation of the expressions (X and Y) is ignored,
X xor Y -> (X || Y) && !(X && Y) Or, more trivially as Jsor pointed out,
X xor Y <-> X != Y With booleans an xor is simply:
if boolA != boolB { } In this context not equal to performs the same function as xor: the statement can only be true if one of the booleans is true and one is false.
