TLE in ENGXOR

This property might come in hand(this is similar to XOR but kinda extended):

  • XOR of two numbers where both have even/odd set bit count => Output has even set bits.

      Example:
       x = 3   (011)  [HAS 2 SET BITS] 
       y = 15 (1111)  [HAS 4 SET BITS]
      
       Both have even SET bits. 
       Their XOR is 12 (1100). It have even bits. 
    
  • XOR of two numbers where both have different number of set bit(one has even bit and another has odd bits) => Output has odd set bits.
