Python CARROTS?? #python #programming #coding

This video explains what the exclusive or (xor) sign is in Python and how it may be confused with the power symbol. This video also explains Python's find() method.

Ill pretend to understand everything and come back later

[rubenvanderark]

For whoever doesn't understand the ^:

y is 1 (dec). 1(dec) = 01(dec) = 01(bin).
2(dec) = 10(bin)
01 xor 10
First digit: 0 xor 1 returns 1
Second digit: 1 xor 0 returns 1
First digit and second digit concatenated:
11
11(bin) = 3(dec)

Coming from other languages I would assume this resolves in the following way:
x = 'b001'
y = [x.find('0')] probably ends up being [1] or something
z = len(y)^2, in C++ len(y) would return 1, and 1 ^ 2 would be 1 XOR 2, so 0b01 XOR 0b10 which is 0b11, which is 3
Thus it would print 3

But the intro said "caret is not what you think in Python", so my guess is that in Python as opposed to other languages, ^ is instead used for power, so my guess that it's 1 to the power of 2, which is still 1. So my answer is 1.

Edit: Just watched it. I've been bamboozled, it's the same as every other language, not at all different than you'd think.

That is also called bitwise XOR operator

[memetech-]

Dude really thread.started himself in that intro

[k_gold]

I never knew the xor symbol is called a caret, so I just thought it's some kinda new operation you were talking abt

[fairphoneuser]

Thumb up for the bad pun...even though I expected it! And I knew what this video is gonna be about! 😁

[Fine_Mouche]

bit operator :
And: &
Or: |
Xor: ^
Not: ~

[aidennelson]

Never knew that, interesting! May God bless.

[dwidger]

"So I held a poll the other day and i realized my followers are dumb as hell" 🤣

[alext]

Ehat is even the definition of a script in this language.

[gimmityclark]

I use carets in math alot so this was no suprise

[kokeeyousef]

I knew that in python ** means power but I still thought that ^ also meant power

[snich]

Bcos of that corny joke, you get a sub. I want more.

[baumi_]

Now I know why I failed my exam in this topic

[threecouchpotatoes]

I got confused on the last part when you brought up the^

[deepakshah]

I did not guess but actually searched for the find and caret function to get the correct answer '3'.

[hikari]

Oh I was reading in java. I forgot python uses **

[TheSkepticSkwerl]

Nope. A Caret was exactly what I thought.

[TheOtherSteel]

Now we need to know why Python doesn't use ^ as an exponent.
