“To mean xor” isn’t really the best way to put it because “xor” in programming is often generalized to “odd parity”, ie xor(x,y,z) usually means x^y^z instead of x+y+z === 1. Does the second interpretation even have a common name to distinguish it from the odd parity interpretation of xor for multivalued cases?
