use for xor?

[fantasio]

hello dear gurus of the numbercrunching departement!

for years i treated the modulo operator with an unhealthy disregard.until i finally discoverd its power.

so i wonder what might be the practical uses of the xor operator?

any uses greatly appreciated!

thanks a lot.

Eh?
I might be mixing this up because I remembered xor being an operation that would return true if only one of the conditions was true

Modulus is just a shortcut for finding the remainder when dividing two numbers
Useful for whenever you need that function
a%b is the equivalent of a-Math.round(a/b)*b
I recall the time it was most useful was with an assigned program that generated prime numbers

If a%b==0, then b is a factor of that number, etc.

you are absolutely right.

what i wanted to say is:
after realizing how cool modulo can be in certain situations i would like to see for what i could use xor for.
like:
after using a wrench, and seeing how useful it can be i would like to find uses for a hammer
