1863. Sum of All Subset XOR Totals

Description

The XOR total of an array is defined as the bitwise XOR of all its elements, or 0 if the array is empty.

  • For example, the XOR total of the array [2,5,6] is 2 XOR 5 XOR 6 = 1.

Given an array nums, return the sum of all XOR totals for every subset of nums

Note: Subsets with the same elements should be counted multiple times.

An array a is a subset of an array b if a can be obtained from b by deleting some (possibly zero) elements of b.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3]
Output: 6
Explanation: The 4 subsets of [1,3] are:
- The empty subset has an XOR total of 0.
- [1] has an XOR total of 1.
- [3] has an XOR total of 3.
- [1,3] has an XOR total of 1 XOR 3 = 2.
0 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 6

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,1,6]
Output: 28
Explanation: The 8 subsets of [5,1,6] are:
- The empty subset has an XOR total of 0.
- [5] has an XOR total of 5.
- [1] has an XOR total of 1.
- [6] has an XOR total of 6.
- [5,1] has an XOR total of 5 XOR 1 = 4.
- [5,6] has an XOR total of 5 XOR 6 = 3.
- [1,6] has an XOR total of 1 XOR 6 = 7.
- [5,1,6] has an XOR total of 5 XOR 1 XOR 6 = 2.
0 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 7 + 2 = 28

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,4,5,6,7,8]
Output: 480
Explanation: The sum of all XOR totals for every subset is 480.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 12
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 20

 

Solutions

Solution: Depth-First Search

  • Time complexity: O(2n)
  • Space complexity: O(2n)

 

JavaScript

js
/**
 * @param {number[]} nums
 * @return {number}
 */
const subsetXORSum = function (nums) {
  const n = nums.length;
  let result = 0;

  const sumSubset = (start, current) => {
    for (let index = start; index < n; index++) {
      const next = current ^ nums[index];

      result += next;
      sumSubset(index + 1, next);
    }
  };

  sumSubset(0, 0);
  return result;
};
