How to Checksum Binary File using XOR

[readysetgo]

Hi,

I need to determine the Checksum using the logical "XOR" of all the 32-bit words from a binary/image file.

I am fairly new to low level programming, please correct me if I am wrong:

    fstream infile("file.bin", ios::in);
    if (infile.fail())
    {
        return 0;
    }

    int checksum = 0;
    int currentInt = 0;
    while(infile >> currentInt)
    {
        checksum = checksum ^ currentInt;
    }

Thank you
