Xor it
Problem code: XOR Send 3 people ecommend ALL SUBMISSIONS MY SUBMISSIONS SUBMIT

Chef has given you a sequence A[1], A[2], ..., A[N] composed of N nonnegative integer numbers. Then, for each pair (i; j) such that 1 <= i < j <= N, we have written a number that equals to A[i] xor A[j] (xor is exclusive or, "xor" in Pascal, "^" in C++). Thus, we have obtained N*(N-1)/2 numbers. Your task is to find K minimal numbers among them.

SUCCESSFUL PROBLEM:

SUBMISSIONS

FOR

THIS

Oops, we couldn't seem to load the successfull submission Try again soon.

Input
The first line of the input contains two space separated integers N and K. Each of the next N lines contains one integer, ith line contains number A[i].

Output
In the only line of output print space separated sequence of K numbers, the answer to the problem. Numbers should be in non-decreasing order.

Constraints
2 N 100000 1 K min{250000, N*(N-1)/2 0 A[i] < 231

Example
Input: 45 1134 Output: 02255

Explanation
In the sample input we have 4 numbers: 1, 1, 3, 4. Therefore, there are (4*3)/2 = 6 pairwise XOR's. These XOR's are: 1 xor 1 = 0 (A[1] xor A[2]) 1 xor 3 = 2 (A[1] xor A[3]) 1 xor 4 = 5 (A[1] xor A[4]) 1 xor 3 = 2 (A[2] xor A[3]) 1 xor 4 = 5 (A[2] xor A[4]) 3 xor 4 = 7 (A[3] xor A[4]) If we sort these numbers we will obtain: 0, 2, 2, 5, 5, 7. The first 5 minimal numbers are: 0, 2, 2, 5, 5. Date: Time limit: Source limit: 2012-02-04 2s 50000

tijofor ou @ 1 Ma 2012 04:59 PM Please clarify... The input section reads, "The first line of the input contains two space separated integers N and K. Each of the next N lines contains one integer, ith line contains number A[i]." But the example has only a single line containing N integers, following the first line. Which one is correct??

serge _adm @ 1 Ma 2012 05:09 PM @tijoforyou "The first line of the input contains two space separated integers N and K. Each of the next N lines contains one integer, ith line contains number A[i]." is correct.

rbkr @ 1 Ma 2012 08:34 PM I still can not understand it. The example shows only 1 line even though N=4. So does it mean it contains 3 more lines of input which is missing in the example?

serge _adm @ 1 Ma 2012 09:33 PM The example should be read as: 4 5[newline] 1[newline] 1[newline] 3[newline] 4[newline]

codetantra @ 2 Ma 2012 03:59 PM is it possible to reveal the target complexity?

serge _adm @ 2 Ma 2012 05:23 PM

@codetantra it is impossible during the competition

ni a nigmatul @ 3 Ma 2012 02:12 AM What kind of computer are our solutions being tested on?

phantom11 @ 3 Ma 2012 04:55 PM Is the input in sorted order always??

ankitkalia100 @ 4 Ma 2012 01:30 AM 1xor3=2, 1xor4=5 how is it possible...in one case there is subtraction and in other it is addition???

shadow @ 4 Ma 2012 11:44 PM Seems like time limit too strict....

ashish.pant @ 5 Ma 2012 04:35 AM Not a good problem. Something different should have been given for the second hardest problem (excluding the challenge).

ashmish2 @ 5 Ma 2012 12:15 PM @admin is Input in sorted order?

Xor it CodeChef

adit a_1itj @ 5 Ma 2012 12:30 PM @ADMIN please explain the output? if there should be n or sth else after the ans.? minimal no. has some other meaning(my interpretation:first 5 no.s of sorted 6)? xor is bitwise xor? 1^1|0^0=0 else 1.

serge _adm @ 5 Ma 2012 01:52 PM It is not specified in the statement that the input is always in the sorted order, so you can't assume it. XOR is standart operation on numbers.

saurabhskj @ 5 Ma 2012 02:05 PM @admin: can u tell me why am i getting the runtime error(NZEC)?.. i have checked out my program for any kind of Exceptions.

serge _adm @ 5 Ma 2012 03:13 PM @saurabhskj You can't ask for help during the competition. I guess, only clarifying the statement is OK.
