C++ program to check xor game results 0 or not
Suppose we have an array A with N elements and another binary string S. Consider two players are playing a game. They are numbered as 0 and 1. There is one variable x whose initial value is 0. The games has N rounds. In ith round person S[i] does one of the following: replace x with x XOR A[i], otherwise do nothing. Person 0 wants 0 at the end of this game but person 1 wants non-zero. We have to check whether x becomes 0 at the end or not.
So, if the input is like A = [1, 2]; S = "10", then the output will be 1, because person1 changes x with 0 XOR 1 = 1, so it will always be 1 regardless the choice by person0.
Steps
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
N := size of A Define an array judge of size: 60. z := 0 fill judge with 0 for initialize n := N - 1, when 0 <= n, update (decrease n by 1), do: x := A[n] loop through the following unconditionally, do: if x is same as 0, then: Come out from the loop y := x I := -1 for initialize i := 0, when i < 60, update (increase i by 1), do: if y mod 2 is same as 1, then: I := i y := y / 2 if judge[I] is same as 0, then: judge[I] := x Come out from the loop x := x XOR judge[I] if S[n] is not equal to '0', then: if x is not equal to 0, then: z := 1 return z
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int solve(vector<int> A, string S){
int N = A.size();
int judge[60];
int z = 0;
fill(judge, judge + 60, 0);
for (int n = N - 1; 0 <= n; n--){
int x = A[n];
while (1){
if (x == 0)
break;
int y = x;
int I = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++){
if (y % 2 == 1)
I = i;
y /= 2;
}
if (judge[I] == 0){
judge[I] = x;
break;
}
x ^= judge[I];
}
if (S[n] != '0'){
if (x != 0)
z = 1;
}
}
return z;
}
int main(){
vector<int> A = { 1, 2 };
string S = "10";
cout << solve(A, S) << endl;
}Input
{ 1, 2 }, "10"Output
1
