Answer 4

This is the bitwise XOR operator, which returns a one for each position where one (not both) of the corresponding bits of its operands is a one. The next example returns 4 (0100):

Code: 
result = a ^ b; 

Answer 5

That operator performs the logical XOR operation. (out bit is 1 when both input bits are different).
