Brian,
I think I got your point so,
Given two inputs A & B, Xor'ed, the output Y is:
A B Y
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
For three inputs A, B and C, the output Y is:
A B C Y
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 1
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 0
Conclusion:
the inputs are different ( no matter how many inputs) Y is 1)
the inputs are the same, Y is 0...
That is the logic behind XOR... Look at the inputs and just check if are equal
or not....
HTH
Ricardo
As you can see in the example you have
