Number of Pairs with Bitwise OR as Odd Number in C++

Given an array, we have to find the number of pairs whose Bitwise OR is an odd number. Let's see the example.

Input

arr = [1, 2]

Output

1

There is only one pair whose Bitwise OR is an odd number. And the pair is (1, 2).

Algorithm

• Initialise the array with random numbers.
• Initialise the count to 0.
• Write two loops to get the pairs of the array.
  • Compute the bitwise OR between every pair.
  • Increment the count if the result is an odd number.
• Return the count.

Implementation

Following is the implementation of the above algorithm in C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int getOddPairsCount(int arr[], int n) {
   int count = 0;
   for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
         if ((arr[i] | arr[j]) % 2 != 0) {
            count++;
         }
      }
   }
   return count;
}
int main() {
   int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
   int n = 10;
   cout << getOddPairsCount(arr, n) << endl;
   return 0;
}

Output

If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
