MATLAB: How to xor a and b now

Question

I want to xor 2 hex values.

reshape(dec2bin(hex2dec(str(:)),4).',1,[])

I convert 2 hex values to binary using these and store it in a and b.

How to xor now?

Cant get using bitxor.

Is there an alternative.

I want two user inputted hex

Answer 1

Using the fact that XOR is basically a "not equals" operator for bits:

a = your first converted binary string
b = your second converted binary string
result = char((a~=b)+'0');
