Calculations the XOR of a bitmap column, return cardinality of type UInt64, if add suffix -State, then return [bitmap object](../../../sql-reference/functions/bitmap-functions.md).

``` sql
groupBitmapOr(expr)
```

**Arguments**

`expr` – An expression that results in `AggregateFunction(groupBitmap, UInt*)` type.

**Returned value**

Value of the `UInt64` type.

**Example**

``` sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS bitmap_column_expr_test2;
CREATE TABLE bitmap_column_expr_test2
(
    tag_id String,
    z AggregateFunction(groupBitmap, UInt32)
)
ENGINE = MergeTree
ORDER BY tag_id;

INSERT INTO bitmap_column_expr_test2 VALUES ('tag1', bitmapBuild(cast([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] as Array(UInt32))));
INSERT INTO bitmap_column_expr_test2 VALUES ('tag2', bitmapBuild(cast([6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15] as Array(UInt32))));
INSERT INTO bitmap_column_expr_test2 VALUES ('tag3', bitmapBuild(cast([2,4,6,8,10,12] as Array(UInt32))));

SELECT groupBitmapXor(z) FROM bitmap_column_expr_test2 WHERE like(tag_id, 'tag%');
┌─groupBitmapXor(z)─┐
│              10   │
└───────────────────┘

SELECT arraySort(bitmapToArray(groupBitmapXorState(z))) FROM bitmap_column_expr_test2 WHERE like(tag_id, 'tag%');
┌─arraySort(bitmapToArray(groupBitmapXorState(z)))─┐
│ [1,3,5,6,8,10,11,13,14,15]                       │
