The XOR gate is a digital logic gate that implements exclusive disjunction - it behaves according to the truth table to the right. A HIGH output (1) results if one, and only one, of the inputs to the gate is HIGH (1). If both inputs are LOW (0) or both are HIGH (1), a LOW output (0) results. This function is addition modulo 2. As a result, XOR gates are used to implement binary addition in computers. A half adder consists of an XOR gate and an AND gate.

- XOR Gates are used in creating logic gates. XOR gates have multiple inputs, and the amount of inputs are customizable up to a hundred. When only one of the inputs are active, the XOR gate triggers what the output is connected to. The XOR gate is also the counterpart of the OR Gate. Basically, this gadget activates when only one of the inputs attached to it are active.
- The XOR Gate has two inputs and 1 output. The gate will give a signal if one and only one input is on. This item can be used to make complex circuitry such as coded doors, and other coded items. XOR Gates can be useful if somebody is triggering a pressure plate, but you don't want them to. If there is another current running to the XOR Gate, the pressure plate will have no effect. It is also possible to insert two wires to the connection point for one wire. The XOR Gate acts as an either/or control.

abstract
| - The XOR Gate has two inputs and 1 output. The gate will give a signal if one and only one input is on. This item can be used to make complex circuitry such as coded doors, and other coded items. XOR Gates can be useful if somebody is triggering a pressure plate, but you don't want them to. If there is another current running to the XOR Gate, the pressure plate will have no effect. It is also possible to insert two wires to the connection point for one wire. The XOR Gate acts as an either/or control.
* Example: The output controls a usable item such as a conveyor switch. The two inputs control lever switches so that either lever can operate the conveyor. This is good for controlling doors on either side of a wall.
