bit-manipulationProblem URL: XOR queries of a subarray
We will in-place calculate the prefix XOR of input array. For each query [i, j], if i == 0, query result = array[j], if i != 0, query result = array[i-1] ^ array[j].
class Solution:
def xorQueries(self, arr: List[int], queries: List[List[int]]) -> List[int]:
for i in range(len(arr)-1):
arr[i+1] ^= arr[i]
return [arr[j] ^ arr[i-1] if i else arr[j] for i, j in queries]
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)
