Most of your answer explains what xor does on binary numbers, which isn't really relevant. And, xor doesn't seem to have much to do with similarity of decimal numbers. For example, $1024\oplus1$ has only a couple of bits set, suggesting that $1024$ and $1$ are "similar" numbers, whereas $1024\oplus 1023$ has ten bits set, suggesting they're very dissimilar. But I think most people would agree that $1023$ and $1024$ are very similar, whereas $1$ and $1024$ are very different. | |
