To find the symmetric difference between two bitset objects in C++, you can use the bitwise XOR operator (^). The XOR operator compares the corresponding bits between the two bitsets and sets the result bit to 1 if the bits are different, and 0 otherwise.

Here’s an example code that demonstrates finding the symmetric difference between two bitset objects:

#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>

int main() {
  std::bitset<8> bitset1("01100110");    // First bitset
  std::bitset<8> bitset2("11001100");    // Second bitset

  std::bitset<8> symmetricDiff = bitset1 ^ bitset2;

  std::cout << "Symmetric Difference: " << symmetricDiff << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

In this example, we have two bitset objects, bitset1 and bitset2, each containing 8 bits. We initialize them with binary values using the constructor that takes a string of 0s and 1s.

Then, we use the XOR operator (^) to calculate the symmetric difference between bitset1 and bitset2 and store the result in the symmetricDiff variable.

Finally, we print the resulting symmetric difference using the cout statement.

When you run this code, you should see the following output:

Symmetric Difference: 10101010

Remember, the output is a new bitset object that represents the bits that are different between the two input bitsets.

By utilizing the power of the bitset class and the XOR operator, you can easily find the symmetric difference between two bitsets in C++. Give it a try and see how it can simplify your bit manipulation tasks!
