Hi, I have 2 hexa arrays of 8 bytes and need to do an xor of them, something like this:

unsigned char xorBufferTemp[8];
unsigned char bufferHexas1[8];
unsigned char bufferHexas2[8];

I'd like to make something like that ...

for (i=0; i<8> i++) {
  xorBufferTemp[i] = bufferHexas1[i] ^ bufferHexas2[i];
}

But obviously it doesn't compile because the ^ work only with ones and ceros.

Any ideas would be great appreciated.
Thanks, Juan.

Just curious to what you think an unsigned char is but zeros and ones

try compiling this

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

unsigned char xorBufferTemp[8];
unsigned char bufferHexas1[8];
unsigned char bufferHexas2[8];

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
	bufferHexas1[0] = 15;
	bufferHexas2[0] = 1;
	xorBufferTemp[0] = bufferHexas1[0] ^ bufferHexas2[0];

	fprintf(stdout, "ans->%u\n", xorBufferTemp[0]);

	exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

You was right, i had worked with pointers to array of unsigned chars.

Thanks Juan
