Solution 1:

Question is a bit outdated but...

It's how this operator should work:

true xor false = true
true xor true = false
false xor true = true
false xor false = false

This is how != operator works with bool types:

(true != false) // true
(true != true) // false
(false != true) // true
(false != false) // false

So as you see unexisting ^^ can be replaced with existing !=

Solution 2:

In C#, conditional operators only execute their secondary operand if necessary.

Since an XOR must by definition test both values, a conditional version would be silly.

Examples:

  • Logical AND: & - tests both sides every time.

  • Logical OR: | - test both sides every time.

  • Conditional AND: && - only tests the 2nd side if the 1st side is true.

  • Conditional OR: || - only test the 2nd side if the 1st side is false.

Solution 3:

There is the logical XOR operator: ^
