Exclusive disjunction, also known as logical inequality or symmetric difference, is an operation on two logical values, typically the values of two propositions, that produces a value of true just in case exactly one of its operands is true.
The truth table of \(p ~\operatorname{XOR}~ q\) (also written as \(p + q\!\) or \(p \ne q\!\)) is as follows:
| \(p\!\) | \(q\!\) | \(p ~\operatorname{XOR}~ q\) |
| \(\operatorname{F}\) | \(\operatorname{F}\) | \(\operatorname{F}\) |
| \(\operatorname{F}\) | \(\operatorname{T}\) | \(\operatorname{T}\) |
| \(\operatorname{T}\) | \(\operatorname{F}\) | \(\operatorname{T}\) |
| \(\operatorname{T}\) | \(\operatorname{T}\) | \(\operatorname{F}\) |
The following equivalents can then be deduced:
\[\begin{matrix} p + q & = & (p \land \lnot q) & \lor & (\lnot p \land q) \\ \\ & = & (p \lor q) & \land & (\lnot p \lor \lnot q) \\ \\ & = & (p \lor q) & \land & \lnot (p \land q) \end{matrix}\]
