The bitwise operator ^ provides eXclusive-OR (XOR) : Bitwise Operators « Operators « SCJP






//For XOR operations, 1 XOR 0 produces 1, as does 0 XOR 1. Any other combination produces 0.
//An XOR gives a 1 result if one or the other operand, but not both, is 1.

    int b = 4;

    System.out.println(i ^ 4);
