How does exclusive disjunction differ from inclusive disjunction?

In the study of logic, disjunction refers to a statement of alternatives using the concept of "or." The primary difference between the two types lies in how they handle the possibility of both conditions being true simultaneously.1

• Inclusive disjunction (symbolized as $x\vee y$) is true if at least one of the constituent propositions is true, or if both are true. It functions as a logical operator requiring only one input to be present for the statement to hold.213
• Exclusive disjunction (symbolized as $x\dot{\vee }y$) is true if and only if one of the constituent statements is true, but not both.41

Essentially, while inclusive disjunction allows for the possibility that both alternatives are valid, exclusive disjunction strictly forbids it.1
