PROBLEM:
An array B is called good if it can be filled with zeros by repeating the following operation several times:
- Pick elements x and y of B, replace x with (x\mid y) - x and y with (x\mid y) - y.
Count the number of good arrays of length N whose elements are between 0 and 2^{K} - 1.
EXPLANATION:
First, let’s understand what the given operation really does, and when an array is good.
Consider two non-negative integers x and y.
Let x' =(x\mid y) - x and y' = (x\mid y) - y be their values after the operation.
Note that (x\mid y) is a supermask of both x and y, meaning subtraction is really just the same thing as bitwise XOR in this case.
That is, x' = (x\mid y)\oplus x and y' = (x\mid y)\oplus y.
Since we’re dealing with bitwise only bitwise operations, let’s look at what happens for a fixed bit b.
- If b is not set in both x and y, it won’t be set in x' or y' either.
- If b is set in both x and y, it will be unset in both x' and y'.
This is because b will be set in (x\mid y), then when XOR-ing with both x and y it gets cancelled out. - If b is set in x but not in y, it will be set in y' but not in x'.
Similarly, if b is set in y but not x, it will be set in x' but not y'.
Essentially, b swaps from x to y (or vice versa).
Our aim is to ensure that every bit is made 0, since only then will every number be 0.
Notice that our operation either swaps the position of a bit around, or destroys two bits - it never creates new set bits.
So, for an array A and bit b:
- Let s_b denote the number of elements of A that have b set.
- If s_b is odd, it’s impossible to remove all occurrences of b from the array, and the array can never be good.
- If s_b is even, it’s always possible to remove all set bits, two at a time.
So, the array A is good if and only if, for each bit b, an even number of elements have b set.
Since we want 0 \leq A_i \lt 2^K, we have K bits to work with.
For each of these K bits, the elements that have it set can be chosen independently.
For a fixed bit b, we need to choose an even number of the N elements to have this bit set.
It’s well-known that for an N-element set, the number of subsets of even size is 2^{N-1}.
So, we have 2^{N-1} options for each bit, independent of the other bits.
With K bits in total, this is (2^{N-1})^K ways of creating a good array in total.
This value can be computed in \mathcal{O}(\log N + \log K) using binary exponentiation.
TIME COMPLEXITY:
\mathcal{O}(\log N + \log K) per testcase.
