| Formula | Description | Result | Expected | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| =BITXOR(6,3) | Bitwise XOR of 110 and 011 sets bits present in exactly one: 101 = 5 | 5 | 5 | Matched |
| =BITXOR(12,10) | 1100 XOR 1010 = 0110 = 6 | 6 | 6 | Matched |
| =BITXOR(5,5) | XORing a value with itself clears every bit to 0 | 0 | 0 | Matched |
