Examples
Using bitwise XOR assignment
let a = 5; // (00000000000000000000000000000101)
a ^= 3; // (00000000000000000000000000000011)
console.log(a); // 6 (00000000000000000000000000000110)
let b = 5; // (00000000000000000000000000000101)
b ^= 0; // (00000000000000000000000000000000)
console.log(b); // 5 (00000000000000000000000000000101)
