If you think you are, please post the answer to the equation:

that is an incorrect format. Should be from right to left.

? = 2 ^ 2

I think this depends on which language its being used in.
More or less, the answer is based on the language
The only time I've seen the XOR being used was in my friends CO encryption method.

I don't know... I'm not too fond of it.

you probably aren't.

^ is completely syntax dependent, so its 100% clear the right answer is 42.

PHP Code:
  public enum CalculateMode
        {
            XOR = 0,
            Power
        }
        public static sbyte CalculateAnswer(byte value, CalculateMode mode)
        {
            switch (mode)
            {
                case CalculateMode.XOR:
                    return (sbyte)(value ^ value);
                case CalculateMode.Power:
                    return (sbyte)Math.Pow(value, value);
            }
            return -1;
        }
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                byte value = 0;
                if (byte.TryParse(args[0], out value))
                {
                    CalculateMode mode = (CalculateMode)Enum.Parse(typeof(CalculateMode), args[1]);
                    if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(CalculateMode), mode))
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("'{0}' calculated with {1} is {2}", value, mode.ToString(), CalculateAnswer(value, mode));
                        Console.ReadLine();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is not defined in CalculateMode.", mode.ToString());
                        Console.ReadLine();
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("'value' is invalid. Check first param.");
                }
            }
            catch (ArgumentException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("mode wasn't defined in CalculateMode.");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        } 
Have fun.

This has to do with programming CO Private Servers?
If so, I'm not a programmer.
