Atomics.xor() Method: Among the Atomic Operations, there is a method Atomics.xor() that is used to compute a bitwise XOR operation with a given value at a given position in an array. The old value at that position is returned by Atomics.xor() function. No other write operation can happen until the modified value is written back.
Syntax:
Atomics.xor(typedArray, index, value)
Parameters:
- typedarray: It is the shared integer typed array you want to modify.
- index: It is the position in the typedArray where you want to compute bitwise XOR.
- value: It is the number you want to compute the bitwise XOR with.
Return Value: Atomics.xor() returns the old value at the given position (typedArray[index]).
Examples of the above function are provided below.
Examples:
Input : arr[0] = 9;
Atomics.xor(arr, 0, 3);
Output : 9
Input : arr[0] = 3;
Atomics.xor(arr, 0, 2);
Output : 3
Examples of the above function are provided below.
Example 1:
Javascript
let buf = new SharedArrayBuffer(25);
let arr = new Uint8Array(buf);
arr[0] = 9;
console.log(Atomics.xor(arr, 0, 3));
console.log(Atomics.load(arr, 0));
|
Output:
9
10
Example 2:
Javascript
let buf = new SharedArrayBuffer(25);
let arr = new Uint8Array(buf);
arr[0] = 3;
console.log(Atomics.xor(arr, 0, 2));
console.log(Atomics.load(arr, 0));
|
Output:
3

Exceptions :
- Throws a TypeError, if typedArray is not one of the allowed integer types.
- Throws a TypeError, if typedArray is not a shared typed array type.
- Throws a RangeError, if the index is out of bounds in the typedArray.
