Is there anyway to implement XOR in javascript

Question

I\'m trying to implement XOR in javascript in the following way:

   // XOR validation
   if ((isEmptyString(firstStr) && !isEmptyString(secondStr)) |         


        

Answer 1

You are doing an XOR of boolean values which is easy to model into a bitwise XOR (which Javascript has):

var a = isEmptyString(firstStr) ? 1 : 0;
var b = isEmptyString(secondStr) ? 1 : 0;

if(a ^ b) { ... }
