 In this post, we will learn how to solve LeetCode's XOR Operation in an Array Problem and will implement its solution in Java.

XOR Operation in an Array Problem

Given an integer n and an integer start. Define an array nums where nums[i] = start + 2*i (0-indexed) and n == nums.length. Return the bitwise XOR of all elements of nums.

Example 1:
Input: n = 5, start = 0
Output: 8
Explanation: Array nums is equal to [0, 2, 4, 6, 8] where (0 ^ 2 ^ 4 ^ 6 ^ 8) = 8.
Where "^" corresponds to the bitwise XOR operator.

LeetCode - XOR Operation in an Array Java Solution

Approach 1

Simple Math and xor operation.

Java Program: 

class Solution {
    public int xorOperation(int n, int start) {
        int res = start;
        for(int i=1; i<n; i++) {
            res ^= start + 2*i;
        }
        return res;
    }
}
