Block type: xor
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| input ports | 2 input port(s) declared. |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| output ports | 1 output port(s) declared. |
Outputs the logical exclusive OR of two inputs.
| Module |
nflow_blocks
|
| Library | Logic blocks |
| Type |
xor
|
| Label | XOR |
Description
Logical exclusive-or block. Returns 1.0 if inputs differ, otherwise 0.0.
Ports
Input(s)
| Port | Role | Side | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Port_1 | Numeric signal read by the block. | left | x=0, y=20 |
| Port_2 | Numeric signal read by the block. | left | x=0, y=60 |
Output(s)
| Port | Role | Side | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Port_1 | Numeric signal produced by the block. | right | x=80, y=40 |
Parameters
No block parameters are declared in the manifest.
Block Characteristics
| Block type | xor |
| Family | Logic blocks |
| Rendered size | 80 x 80 |
| Phases | ALGEBRAIC |
| Direct feedthrough | yes |
| Internal state or history | not observed in the documented runtime |
| Signal data type | double numeric values |
Algorithms
Equation or Rule
$$y = \operatorname{xor}(\operatorname{bool}(u_1),\operatorname{bool}(u_2))$$Extended Capabilities
This page describes the native runtime behavior observed in the module C++ sources. Declared phases indicate when the simulation engine calls the block.
Code generation: supported for C and Rust.
