ee.Array.bitwiseXor

  • Calculates the bitwise XOR of input Array objects element-by-element.

  • Returns an Array with the same dimensions as the inputs containing the result of the XOR operation.

  • Supports both client-side and server-side Earth Engine objects.

  • Empty arrays or single-element arrays are handled appropriately.

 On an element-wise basis, calculates the bitwise XOR of the input values.

UsageReturns
Array.bitwiseXor(right)Array
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftArrayThe left-hand value.
rightArrayThe right-hand value.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

var empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8());
print(empty.bitwiseXor(empty));  // []

print(ee.Array(0).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(0)));  // 0
print(ee.Array(0).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(1)));  // 1
print(ee.Array(1).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(0)));  // 1
print(ee.Array(1).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(1)));  // 0

print(ee.Array(0x00FF).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(0xFF00)));  // 65535

print(ee.Array([1, 2, 3]).bitwiseXor(ee.Array([5, 8, 16])));  // [4,10,19]

Python setup

Colab (Python)

empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8())
display(empty.bitwiseXor(empty))  # []

display(ee.Array(0).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(0)))  # 0
display(ee.Array(0).bitwiseXor(ee.Array(1)))  # 1
