MYSARA Solution Explained

Here x has only one value i.e. 8

Sorry you are right ,here answer will be 0. Thanks for pointing it out.

What is the bitwise or of 7 and 8?
7 is 0111 and 8 is 1000

Thanks @ketan_mehta . Due to missing of this condition my code was giving wrong answer on array{7,8} which was pointed out by @everule1.

Can someone help me finding an error in this?

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define mod 1000000007

inline int mul(int x, int y){
	return (x * 1ll* y)%mod;
}

inline int bitcount( int a){
	int count =0;
	while(a){
		if(a&1) count++;
		a>>=1;
	}
	return count;
}

inline int binpow(int x, int y){
	int z=1;
	while(y){
		if(y&1) z=mul(z,x);
		x=mul(x,x);
		y>>=1;
	}
	return z;
}
int main(){

	int t; cin>>t;

	for(int i=0; i<t; i++){
		int n; cin>>n;
		int a; int b;
		cin>>a;
		int ansbit=0;
			
		bool check=1;
		for (int i=1; i<n; i++){
			cin>>b;
			if(check){
				if((a&b)!=a) {
					check=0;
					break;
				}
				ansbit+=bitcount(a);
				a=b;
			}

		}

		if(check)
			cout<<binpow(2,ansbit)<<endl;
		else cout<<0<<endl;
	}

}

Write cin.ignore(); before the break. If you break early, you haven’t inputted some values which you’ll input in the next test case erraneously.
cin.ignore(); takes the reader to the next line.

Also instead of bitcount(a) you can use __builtin_popcount(a) which is up to 14% faster than your implementation.

I think you counting extra bits. You should count bits of ( a & b) . But you are counting bit of a.

Thanks a lot @everule1

My approach was B[0] =A[0]. We know that B[i] = B[i-1] V A[i]. If B[i-1][j]==0 then A[i][j]=b[i][j] and we have no option. If B[i-1][j]==1 then B[i][j]=1 no whatter the value of A[i][j]. Hence we have two options. using product rule we can say that A[i] can have 2^(number of set b its in B[i-1]). The only case where the array will not be defined will be if B[i-1][j]==1 and B[i][j]==0, since that is not possible using or operation. In that case output 0. else output product of number of possible A[i] for each i from 1 to n. But I am getting wrong answer, below is my code, can someone please tell me the error in my logic/code. Help will be appreciated!

#include<iostream>

#include<vector>

#include<algorithm>

#include<bitset>

using namespace std;

#define ll long long int

ll MOD = 1000000007;

long long int fast_exp(long long int base, long long int exp) {

    long long int res = 1;

    while(exp>0) {

       if(exp&1) {

           res = (res*base)%MOD;

       }

       base = (base*base)%MOD;

       exp = exp>>1;

    }

    return res%MOD;

}

int main(){

    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);

    cin.tie(NULL);

    ll t;

    cin>>t;

    while(t--){

        ll n, temp;

        cin>>n;

        vector<bitset<32>> b(n);

        for(ll i=0; i<n; i++){

            cin>>temp;

            b[i] = temp;

        }

        ll count = 1;

        bool flag = true;

        for(ll i=1; i<n; i++){

            count = (count*fast_exp(2, b[i-1].count()))%MOD;

            if((b[i-1]&(~b[i]))!=0) {

                cout<<0<<'\n';

                flag = false;

                continue;

            }

        }

        if(flag) cout<<count<<"\n";

    }

    return 0;

}

You’ve written continue; instead of break;. continue; just goes to the next value in the loop, whereas break; ends the loop

Can Someone please help me out on this.
I’m not sure if my approach is wrong or i did some mistake in writing code. The Code seems clear and understandable for everyone. So please give it a look .

Thanks for the help. I feel completely dumb now.

plz tell what is wrong with my code

Why answer is 0 when array is sorted.
and why b[i] & b[i+1] != b[i]

Why ans is 0 when array is sorted
and what’s with this condition b[i] & b[i+1] != b[i]

consider b1=7 and b2=8;
binary representation of 7 is 0111
binary representation of 8 is 1000
we need an element a2 such that b1|a2=b2
b1-0 1 1 1
a2-? ? ? ?
---------------or operation
b2-1 0 0 0
--------------
if we observe the example,we can conlcude that
there is no element a2 which satisfies b1|a2=b2;
so answer must be 0;

Could someone pl tell why my solution is wrong

But why do we need to check set bits at same position of a and OR(a,b).
if there is 1 in a there will surely be 1 in OR(a,b).That means we only need to check the no. of 1’s in a and for each 1 in a there will be 2 possibilities (i.e, either 0 or 1).
