I have two hexadecimal strings from Hexadecimal string monoid. I want to XOR them. As there is no XOR function inbuilt, I wish to convert them to binary.

S=BinaryStrings()
H=HexadecimalStrings()
A=H('4ac0')
B=H('b53f')

There is no need to convert to binary to perform XOR, converting to a numerical value is enough. For example,

H=HexadecimalStrings()
A=H('4ac0')
B=H('b53f')
hex( eval('0x'+str(A)) ^^ eval('0x'+str(B)) )

gives 0xffff. If element of H is needed, one can use

H( hex( eval('0x'+str(A)) ^^ eval('0x'+str(B)) )[2:] )
