Given function is
y = x ^x - 2 ^{ \sin x }
Let's take t = x^x
take log on both the sides
\log t=x\log x\\
Now, differentiation w.r.t x is
\log t=x\log x\\ \frac{d(\log t)}{dt}.\frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{d(x\log x)}{dx} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (by \ chain \ rule)\\ \frac{1}{t}.\frac{dt}{dx} = \log x +1\\ \frac{dt}{dx} = t(\log x+1)\\ \frac{dt}{dx}= x^x(\log x+1) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because t = x^x )
Similarly, take k = 2^{\sin x}
Now, take log on both sides and differentiate w.r.t. x
\log k=\sin x\log 2\\ \frac{d(\log k)}{dk}.\frac{dk}{dx} = \frac{d(\sin x\log 2)}{dx} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (by \ chain \ rule)\\ \frac{1}{k}.\frac{dk}{dx} = \cos x \log 2\\ \frac{dk}{dx} = k(\cos x\log 2)\\ \frac{dk}{dx}= 2^{\sin x}(\cos x\log 2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because k = 2^{\sin x} )
Now, 
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dt}{dx}-\frac{dk}{dx}\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = x^x(\log x+1 )- 2^{\sin x}(\cos x\log 2)

Therefore, the answer is    x^x(\log x+1 )- 2^{\sin x}(\cos x\log 2)
