Hail XOR December codechef challenge problem solution 2020

 Hail XOR  December codechef challenge problem solution 2020-

Hail XOR problem is taken from December codechef challenge 2020. Let's read problem statement.

You are given a sequence A1,A2,,AN and you have to perform the following operation exactly X times:

  • Choose two integers i and j such that 1i<jN.
  • Choose a non-negative integer p.
  • Change Ai to Ai2p, and change Aj to Aj2p, where  denotes bitwise XOR.

Find the lexicographically smallest sequence which can be obtained by performing this operation exactly X times.

A sequence B1,B2,,BN is said to be lexicographically smaller than a sequence C1,C2,,CN if there is an index i such that Bi<Ci and for each valid j<iBj=Cj.

Input

  • The first line of the input contains a single integer T denoting the number of test cases. The description of T test cases follows.
  • The first line of each test case contains two space-separated integers N and X.
  • The second line contains N space-separated integers A1,A2,,AN.

Output

For each test case, print a single line containing N space-separated integers ― the lexicographically smallest obtainable sequence.

Constraints

  • 1T10
  • 2N105
  • 1X109
  • 1Ai109 for each valid i

Subtasks

Subtask #1 (30 points): N100

Subtask #2 (70 points): original constraints

Example Input

1
3 3
2 2 3

Example Output

0 0 3

Explanation

Example case 1: The original sequence is (2,2,3). Consider the following three operations:

  • Choose i=1j=2 and p=1. Then, A1 changes from 2 to 221=0 and similarly, A2 changes from 2 to 221=0. Now the sequence is (0,0,3).
  • Next, choose i=1j=2 and p=1. Then, A1 changes to 021=2 and A2 changes to 021=2. The sequence is (2,2,3).
  • Next, again choose i=1j=2 and p=1. Then, A1 changes to 221=0 and A2 changes to 221=0. The sequence is (0,0,3) again.

We can check that after exactly 3 operations, this is the lexicographically smallest sequence we can obtain.


Solution -

hint- You have to iterate n time not x time.

Actually Hail XOR is easy-medium level question of this contest.You it's is pretty easy once you get 1 test case and general approach 

to solve this question. As i told you in hint that you have to iterate n time not x time so we will first iterate through the array 

and we will try to reduce ith element as small as possible in one operation. We can reduce current element 2^(msb) most significant bit.

so we will reduct ith elemet a[i] XOR 2^(msb) and for jth element we will iterate from i+1 elment to n and we found any element witch 

gives smaller value when we do XOR this number with 2^msb we select that element and reduct a[j]=a[j] XOR 2^(msb)

if we do not find such element we will choose last element as jth element.

we will not increment i until a[i] become zero or total operation become zero.

in next time we will search for next msb of ith element. and reapeat same process until a[i] become zero.

for msb i have written a function which return all set bit position in curr element.

after i reach to n-1 ans still some operation left we can achive same squence if n is not equal to 2.


Special case-

if(remainng operation is odd and n==2){

 if(x>0){

            if(x%2!=0&&n==2){

                v[1]=1;

                v[2]=v[2]^1;


        }

       


       }

}

finally we print the array.


Here is my solution.

Flutter vs. React Native: Which is Better in 2023?

Flutter vs. React Native: Which is Better in 2023? Mobile app development has become one of the most popular industries in recent years. With the rise of smartphones, the demand for mobile apps has skyrocketed. Today, there are over 5 billion mobile phone users worldwide, and the number is expected to keep growing. In this blog, we'll take a look at two of the most popular cross-platform app development frameworks, Flutter and React Native, and compare them to determine which is better in 2023. 1. Why is a mobile app development so popular?  Mobile app development has become popular because mobile phones have become an integral part of our daily lives. People use mobile phones for communication, entertainment, shopping, and even work. Mobile apps provide a convenient way for users to access the services they need, and for businesses to reach their target audience. 2. What is cross-platform app development?  Cross-platform app development is the process of creating mobile...
