I would like to know why this solution works?
I would really appreciate any effort to make me understand.
Like addition, a xor (b xor c) = (a xor b) xor c
For the even part, for an array with even number of terms, when you make all possible sub-arrays, each number appears even number of times. And x xor x = 0 for all x. Hence, the answer is zero.
If the array has odd number of terms, then all the digits at even places occur twice and hence become 0.
