> `bitwise.uxor()` is experimental and [subject to change at any time](/flux/v0/stdlib/experimental/#experimental-packages-are-subject-to-change).

`bitwise.uxor()` performs the bitwise operation, `a XOR b`, with unsigned integers.

#### Deprecated

Experimental `bitwise.uxor` is deprecated in favor of[`bitwise.uxor`](/flux/v0/stdlib/bitwise/uxor/).

##### Function type signature

```js
(a: uint, b: uint) => uint
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### a

(Required)
Left hand operand.

### b

(Required)
Right hand operand.

## Examples

* [Perform a bitwise XOR operation](#perform-a-bitwise-xor-operation)
* [Perform a bitwise XOR operation on a stream of tables](#perform-a-bitwise-xor-operation-on-a-stream-of-tables)

### Perform a bitwise XOR operation

```
import "experimental/bitwise"

bitwise.uxor(a: uint(v: 1234), b: uint(v: 4567))// Returns 5381 (uint)

```

### Perform a bitwise XOR operation on a stream of tables

```js
import "experimental/bitwise"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.uint()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: bitwise.uxor(a: r._value, b: uint(v: 3))}))
```
