Does Xor Order Matter?

Important properties of XOR
This is clear from the definition of XOR: it doesn't matter which way round you order the two inputs. This means that XOR operations can be chained together and the order doesn't matter. ... This means that any value XOR'd with zero is left unchanged.

How is XOR calculated?

To find XOR of more than two numbers, represent all numbers in binary representation, add 0's before if necessary. ... To find each bit of XOR just calculate number of 1's in the corresponding bits. If it is even or zero then that XOR'ed bit is 0. If it is odd then that XOR'ed bit is 1.

What comes first XOR or and?

XOR is just a simple version of A AND NOT B OR NOT A AND B or (A OR NOT B) AND (NOT A OR B) . So, only these three have common precedence: NOT > AND > OR. XOR has different position in languages, but it has surely not higher precedence than AND and not lower than OR.
