Maximum possible XOR of every element in an array with another array
Last Updated :
19 Sep, 2023
Two arrays A and B consisting of N elements are given. The task is to compute the maximum possible XOR of every element in array A with array B.
Examples:
Input :
A : 7 3 9 12
B : 1 3 5 2
Output : 6 6 12 15
Explanation : 1 xor 7 = 6, 5 xor 3 = 6, 5
xor 9 = 12, 3 xor 12 = 15.
A naive approach to solve this problem would be to check every element of array A with every other element of array B and print the maximum xor.
C++
// C++ code to find the maximum possible X-OR of
// every array element with another array
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int max_xor(int A[],int B[],int N)
{
// Variable to store the maximum xor
int maximum;
// Traversing for every element of
// first array
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
{
maximum=INT_MIN;
for(int j=0;j<N;j++)
{
maximum=max(maximum,A[i]^B[j]);
}
cout<<maximum<<endl;
}
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
int A[] = {7, 3, 9, 12};
int B[] = {1, 3, 5, 2};
int N = sizeof(A)/sizeof(A[0]);
max_xor(A, B, N);
return 0;
}

{
maximum=Integer.MIN_VALUE;

for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
maximum = Math.Max(maximum, A[i] ^ B[j]);
}
Console.WriteLine(maximum);
}
return 0;
}
// Driver code
static void Main()
{
int[] A = { 7, 3, 9, 12 };

for (let j = 0; j < B.length; j++) {

}
console.log(maximum);
}
}
// Example usage
let A = [7, 3, 9, 12];
let B = [1, 3, 5, 2];
max_xor(A, B);
Time Complexity : O(n^2)
Space Complexity : O(1)
An efficient solution is to use Trie Data Structure.
We maintain a Trie for the binary representation of all elements in array B.
Now, for every element of A, we find the maximum xor in trie.
Let's say our number A[i] is {b1, b2...bn}, where b1, b2...bn are binary bits. We start from b1.
Now for the xor to be maximum, we'll try to make most significant bit 1 after performing
the xor. So, if b1 is 0, we'll need a 1 and vice versa. In the trie, we go to the required
bit side. If favourable option is not there, we'll go other side. Doing this all over,
we'll get the maximum XOR possible.
Below is the implementation
C++
// C++ code to find the maximum possible X-OR of
// every array element with another array
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Structure of Trie DS
struct trie
{
int value;
trie *child[2];
};
// Function to initialise a Trie Node
trie * get()
{
trie * root = new trie;
root -> value = 0;
root -> child[0] = NULL;
root -> child[1] = NULL;
return root;
}
// Computing max xor
int max_xor(trie * root, int key)
{
trie * temp = root;
// Checking for all bits in integer range
for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--)
{
// Current bit in the number
bool current_bit = ( key & ( 1 << i) );
// Traversing Trie for different bit, if found
if (temp -> child[1 - current_bit] != NULL)
temp = temp -> child[1 - current_bit];
// Traversing Trie for same bit
else
temp = temp -> child[current_bit];
}
// Returning xor value of maximum bit difference
// value. Thus, we get maximum xor value
return (key ^ temp -> value);
}

{
trie * temp = root;
// Storing 31 bits as integer representation
