What is ^ used for?

I tried doing 4^2 and got 6, then tried 6^2 and got 4? What does ^ do in Python if it’s not an exponential operator? Is it one at all? I can’t find anything on google.

python operators python3 ^

It is xor operator.. It compares the corresponding binary digits of two binary numbers, if they are different then the answer is 1, if they are similar the answer become 0 4 in binary is 0100 2 in binary is 0010 6 in binary is 0110 (answer) The same with the second example 6 in binary is 0110 2 in binary is 0010 4 in binary is 0100
