How to use the logical XOR operator in Python?

Question

a Code I am working on requires me to evaluate two variables. It is an "if" statement that runs if ONE of them is equal to "x"...but not both.

if height == x {XOR} width == x:
~code goes here

Please help

Answer 1

It must be a construction like this:
if a==40 and b!= 40 or b==40 and a!=40:

If you are sure that any of your two vatiables necessarily equals to desired number, you can use canonical logical xor in that way:
if a ^ b:
In this case the if-statement will run the code if two variables differ, but will NOT do the check of the value.
