^ operator is called bitwise XOR operator.

Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both.

For example:

a = 0011 1100

b = 0000 1101

(A ^ B) will give 49 which is 0011 0001

The ^ operator in Java

^ in Java is the exclusive-or ("xor") operator.

Let's take 5^6 as example:

(decimal)    (binary)
     5     =  101
     6     =  110
------------------ xor
     3     =  011

This the truth table for bitwise (JLS 15.22.1) and logical (JLS 15.22.2) xor:

^ | 0 1      ^ | F T
--+-----     --+-----
0 | 0 1      F | F T
1 | 1 0      T | T F

More simply, you can also think of xor as "this or that, but not both!".

It's bitwise XOR, Java does not have an exponentiation operator, you would have to use Math.pow() instead.
