Explanation

The '^=' operator in JavaScript is a compound assignment operator that performs a bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) operation between two operands, then assigns the result to the left operand. For example, a ^= b is equivalent to a = a ^ b. It does not perform simple assignment, subtraction, or bitwise OR.
