1310. XOR Queries of a Subarray

Medium

You are given an array arr of positive integers. You are also given the array queries where queries[i] = [lefti, righti].

For each query i compute the XOR of elements from lefti to righti (that is, arr[lefti] XOR arr[lefti + 1] XOR ... XOR arr[righti] ).

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

Example 1:

Input: arr = [1,3,4,8], queries = [[0,1],[1,2],[0,3],[3,3]]

Output: [2,7,14,8]

Explanation:

The binary representation of the elements in the array are:

1 = 0001

3 = 0011

4 = 0100

8 = 1000

The XOR values for queries are:

[0,1] = 1 xor 3 = 2

[1,2] = 3 xor 4 = 7

[0,3] = 1 xor 3 xor 4 xor 8 = 14

[3,3] = 8

Example 2:

Input: arr = [4,8,2,10], queries = [[2,3],[1,3],[0,0],[0,3]]

Output: [8,0,4,4]

Solution

public class Solution {
    public int[] xorQueries(int[] a, int[][] queries) {
        int[] res = new int[queries.length];
        for (int i = 1; i < a.length; i++) {
            a[i] = a[i - 1] ^ a[i];
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < queries.length; i++) {
            int[] query = queries[i];
            res[i] = (query[0] == 0 ? a[query[1]] : a[query[0] - 1] ^ a[query[1]]);
        }
        return res;
    }
