What happens when two identical bit patterns are input into the XOR operation?

Which bitwise operation results in a bit being 1 only if both corresponding bits are 1?

Basic logic operations include NOT, AND, OR, and XOR.
NOT operation flips a bit: changes 1 to 0 and vice versa.
AND operation results in 1 only if both inputs are 1:
- x AND 0 → 0
- 0 AND x → 0
OR operation results in 1 if at least one input is 1:
- x OR 1 → 1
- 1 OR x → 1
XOR (exclusive OR) operation results in 1 if inputs are different:
- x XOR 1 → NOT x
- 1 XOR x → NOT x

English "or" can be categorized into:
- Inclusive OR: "I would like to have a car or a house" implies either one or both.
- Exclusive OR: "Today is either Monday or Tuesday" implies one or the other, but not both.

XOR can be simulated using AND and NOT operations:
- Expression: x XOR y ≡ [x AND (NOT y)] OR [(NOT x) AND y]
Truth tables can validate the equivalence between XOR and its simulated form.

Logic operations can be applied to n-bit patterns, combining the effects on individual bits.
Applying operations at the pattern level means using the same bit operations across all bits of the pattern.

NOT Operator: Changes every 0 to 1 and every 1 to 0 in a bit pattern (e.g., 10011000 becomes 01100111).
AND Operator: Compares two patterns and results in 1 only where both corresponding bits are 1 (e.g., for 10011000 AND 00101010, only one output bit will be 1).
OR Operator: Compares two patterns and results in 0 only where both corresponding bits are 0 (e.g., for 10011001 OR 00101110, only one output bit will be 0).
XOR Operator: Compares two patterns and results in 1 where the corresponding bits are different (e.g., for 10011001 XOR 00101110, each differing bit will yield 1 in the output).
