Exclusive or

Exclusive or, also known as XOR, is a way to compare two things and see if they are the same or not. Think about it like this: You have two cupcakes, one vanilla and one chocolate. If you like vanilla cupcakes and I like chocolate cupcakes, we are different. That's an Exclusive or!

But, if we both like vanilla cupcakes, we are the same. That is NOT an Exclusive or!

In other words, an Exclusive or is true when either one of two things is true, but not both. It's like the middle point between yes and no.

For example, let's say we have two switches, and they each control a different light. The first switch controls a red light, and the second switch controls a blue light. Whenever we flip one of the switches, only one of the lights will turn on, but not both. That is an Exclusive or!

So in conclusion, Exclusive or (XOR) is a way to compare two things and see if they are different or not. It's like a special "either/or" statement that only works when one thing is true and the other is not.
