xor method computes the bitwise XOR with a provided value at a given position in the array. It returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation ensures that no other write can happen until the modified value is written back.
Syntax
Atomics.xor(typedArray, index, value)
Parameters
-
typedArray is the integer typed array.
-
index is position in typedarray.
-
value with which bitwise XOR to be computed.
Return
Returns old value at given position.
Exceptions
-
TypeError in case passed array is not a integer typed array.
-
RangeError if index passed is out of bound in typed array.
Example
Following is the code for implementing JavaScript Atomics −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Atomics Example</title>
<style>
.result {
font-size: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onLoad="operate();">
<h1>JavaScript Atomics Properties</h1>
<div class="result"></div>
<p>Atomics.xor(arr, 0, 2)</p>
<p>Atomics.load(arr, 0)</p>
<script>
function operate(){
let container = document.querySelector(".result");
// create a SharedArrayBuffer
var buffer = new SharedArrayBuffer(25);
var arr = new Uint8Array(buffer);
// Initialise element at zeroth position of array with 6
arr[0] = 6;
//6 xor 2 = 110 xor 010 = 100 = 4
container.innerHTML = Atomics.xor(arr, 0, 2) + ''<br/>'' + Atomics.load(arr, 0);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Verify the result.
