bit manipulation - XORing two doubles in Java

Question

How to XOR two doubles in JAVA?

simple '^' doesn't work for doubles... Would I have to convert a double to binary form and do it bitwise? or is there any other way?

Answer 1

If you mean to do this bitwise you need to use the Double utility functions to get long representations and then convert back to a double at the end:

double c = Double.longBitsToDouble(
    Double.doubleToRawLongBits(a) ^ Double.doubleToRawLongBits(b));
