The XOR sum of a list is the bitwise XOR of all its elements. If the list only contains one element, then its XOR sum will be equal to this element.

• For example, the XOR sum of [1,2,3,4] is equal to 1 XOR 2 XOR 3 XOR 4 = 4, and the XOR sum of [3] is equal to 3.

You are given two 0-indexed arrays arr1 and arr2 that consist only of non-negative integers.

Consider the list containing the result of arr1[i] AND arr2[j] (bitwise AND) for every (i, j) pair where 0 <= i < arr1.length and 0 <= j < arr2.length.

Return the XOR sum of the aforementioned list.

Example 1:

Input: arr1 = [1,2,3], arr2 = [6,5]
Output: 0
Explanation: The list = [1 AND 6, 1 AND 5, 2 AND 6, 2 AND 5, 3 AND 6, 3 AND 5] = [0,1,2,0,2,1].
The XOR sum = 0 XOR 1 XOR 2 XOR 0 XOR 2 XOR 1 = 0.


Example 2:

Input: arr1 = [12], arr2 = [4]
Output: 4
Explanation: The list = [12 AND 4] = [4]. The XOR sum = 4.


Constraints:

• 1 <= arr1.length, arr2.length <= 105
• 0 <= arr1[i], arr2[j] <= 109

## Solution: Bit

(a[0] & b[i]) ^ (a[1] & b[i]) ^ … ^ (a[n-1] & b[i]) = (a[0] ^ a[1] ^ … ^ a[n-1]) & b[i]

We can pre compute that xor sum of array A.

## C++

You are given a sorted array nums of n non-negative integers and an integer maximumBit. You want to perform the following query n times:

1. Find a non-negative integer k < 2maximumBit such that nums[0] XOR nums[1] XOR ... XOR nums[nums.length-1] XOR k is maximizedk is the answer to the ith query.
2. Remove the last element from the current array nums.

Return an array answer, where answer[i] is the answer to the ith query.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,1,3], maximumBit = 2
Output: [0,3,2,3]
Explanation: The queries are answered as follows:
1st query: nums = [0,1,1,3], k = 0 since 0 XOR 1 XOR 1 XOR 3 XOR 0 = 3.
2nd query: nums = [0,1,1], k = 3 since 0 XOR 1 XOR 1 XOR 3 = 3.
3rd query: nums = [0,1], k = 2 since 0 XOR 1 XOR 2 = 3.
4th query: nums = [0], k = 3 since 0 XOR 3 = 3.


Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,3,4,7], maximumBit = 3
Output: [5,2,6,5]
Explanation: The queries are answered as follows:
1st query: nums = [2,3,4,7], k = 5 since 2 XOR 3 XOR 4 XOR 7 XOR 5 = 7.
2nd query: nums = [2,3,4], k = 2 since 2 XOR 3 XOR 4 XOR 2 = 7.
3rd query: nums = [2,3], k = 6 since 2 XOR 3 XOR 6 = 7.
4th query: nums = [2], k = 5 since 2 XOR 5 = 7.


Example 3:

Input: nums = [0,1,2,2,5,7], maximumBit = 3
Output: [4,3,6,4,6,7]


Constraints:

• nums.length == n
• 1 <= n <= 105
• 1 <= maximumBit <= 20
• 0 <= nums[i] < 2maximumBit
• nums​​​ is sorted in ascending order.

## Solution: Prefix XOR

Compute s = nums[0] ^ nums[1] ^ … nums[n-1] first

to remove nums[i], we just need to do s ^= nums[i]

We can always maximize the xor of s and k to (2^maxbit – 1)
k = (2 ^ maxbit – 1) ^ s

## C++

There is an integer array perm that is a permutation of the first n positive integers, where n is always odd.

It was encoded into another integer array encoded of length n - 1, such that encoded[i] = perm[i] XOR perm[i + 1]. For example, if perm = [1,3,2], then encoded = [2,1].

Given the encoded array, return the original array perm. It is guaranteed that the answer exists and is unique.

Example 1:

Input: encoded = [3,1]
Output: [1,2,3]
Explanation: If perm = [1,2,3], then encoded = [1 XOR 2,2 XOR 3] = [3,1]


Example 2:

Input: encoded = [6,5,4,6]
Output: [2,4,1,5,3]


Constraints:

• 3 <= n < 105
• n is odd.
• encoded.length == n - 1

## Solution: XOR

The key is to find p[0]. p[i] = p[i – 1] ^ encoded[i – 1]

1. p[0] ^ p[1] ^ … ^ p[n-1] = 1 ^ 2 ^ … ^ n
2. encoded[1] ^ encode[3] ^ … ^ encoded[n-2] = (p[1] ^ p[2]) ^ (p[3] ^ p[4]) ^ … ^ (p[n-2] ^ p[n-1])

1) xor 2) = p[0]

## C++

There is a hidden integer array arr that consists of n non-negative integers.

It was encoded into another integer array encoded of length n - 1, such that encoded[i] = arr[i] XOR arr[i + 1]. For example, if arr = [1,0,2,1], then encoded = [1,2,3].

You are given the encoded array. You are also given an integer first, that is the first element of arr, i.e. arr[0].

Return the original array arr. It can be proved that the answer exists and is unique.

Example 1:

Input: encoded = [1,2,3], first = 1
Output: [1,0,2,1]
Explanation: If arr = [1,0,2,1], then first = 1 and encoded = [1 XOR 0, 0 XOR 2, 2 XOR 1] = [1,2,3]


Example 2:

Input: encoded = [6,2,7,3], first = 4
Output: [4,2,0,7,4]


Constraints:

• 2 <= n <= 104
• encoded.length == n - 1
• 0 <= encoded[i] <= 105
• 0 <= first <= 105

## Solution: XOR

encoded[i] = arr[i] ^ arr[i + 1]
encoded[i] ^ arr[i] = arr[i] ^ arr[i] ^ arr[i + 1]
arr[i+1] = encoded[i]^arr[i]

## C++

Given an integer n, return the decimal value of the binary string formed by concatenating the binary representations of 1 to n in order, modulo 109 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: n = 1
Output: 1
Explanation: "1" in binary corresponds to the decimal value 1.


Example 2:

Input: n = 3
Output: 27
Explanation: In binary, 1, 2, and 3 corresponds to "1", "10", and "11".
After concatenating them, we have "11011", which corresponds to the decimal value 27.


Example 3:

Input: n = 12
Output: 505379714
Explanation: The concatenation results in "1101110010111011110001001101010111100".
The decimal value of that is 118505380540.
After modulo 109 + 7, the result is 505379714.


Constraints:

• 1 <= n <= 105

## Solution: Bit Operation

f(n) = (f(n – 1) << length(n)) | n

length(n) increase by 1 whenever n is power of 2.
n = 1, YES, len = 1
n = 2, YES, len = 2
n = 3, NO, len = 2
n = 4, YES, len = 3
n = 5, NO, len = 3
n = 6, NO, len = 3
n = 7, NO, len = 3
n = 8, YES, len = 4
