Uiua
It’s been a while since I posted one of these, but I thought this would be straightforward in Uiua. Turns out that bitwise operations are a bit (haha) of a pain, so the
Rng
operation is very slow at 4sec for live data.I took this as an opportunity to play with the
⧈(stencil)
operator which probably slowed things down too.# Data ← 1_10_100_2024 Data ← 1_2_3_2024 Xor ← °⋯◿2⬚0+∩⋯ # Bitwise xor of two numbers.
