Tensorflow bitwise.bitwise_xor() method - Python

Tensorflow bitwise.bitwise_xor() method performs the bitwise_xor operation and the result will set those bits, that are different in a and b. The operation is done on the representation of a and b. This method belongs to bitwise module.

Syntax: tf.bitwise.bitwise_xor(a, b, name=None) Arguments

a: This must be a Tensor.It should be from the one of the following types: int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64.

b: This should also be a Tensor, Type same as a.

name: This is optional parameter and this is the name of the operation.

Return: It returns a Tensor having the same type as a and b.

Let's see this concept with the help of few examples: Example 1:

Python3

# Importing the Tensorflow library 
import tensorflow as tf 

# A constant a and b 
a = tf.constant(43, dtype = tf.int32) 
b = tf.constant(5, dtype = tf.int32) 

# Applying the bitwise_xor function 
# storing the result in 'c' 
c = tf.bitwise.bitwise_xor(a, b) 

# Initiating a Tensorflow session 
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print("Input 1", a)
    print(sess.run(a))

    print("Input 2", b)
    print(sess.run(b))

    print("Output: ", c)
    print(sess.run(c))

Output:

Input 1 Tensor("Const_36:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
43
Input 2 Tensor("Const_37:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
5
Output:  Tensor("BitwiseXor_4:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
46

Example 2:

Python3

# Importing the Tensorflow library 
import tensorflow as tf 

# A constant vector of size 2 
a = tf.constant([10, 6], dtype = tf.int32) 
b = tf.constant([12, 5], dtype = tf.int32) 

# Applying the bitwise_xor function 
# storing the result in 'c' 
c = tf.bitwise.bitwise_xor(a, b) 

# Initiating a Tensorflow session 
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print("Input 1", a)
    print(sess.run(a))
    print("Input 2", b)
    print(sess.run(b))
    print("Output: ", c)
    print(sess.run(c))

Output:

Input 1 Tensor("Const_34:0", shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
[10  6]
Input 2 Tensor("Const_35:0", shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
[12  5]
Output:  Tensor("BitwiseXor_3:0", shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
[6 3]
