Count pairs from an array having sum of twice of their AND and XOR equal to K

Last Updated : 13 Jul, 2021

Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers and an integer K, the task is to count the number of pairs satisfying the equation 2*(arr[i] & arr[j]) + (arr[i] ^ arr[j]) = K.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 5, 4, 8, 7}, K = 9
Output: 2
Explanation:

Elements at index 0 and 3, i.e. arr[i] = 1, arr[j] = 8, satisfies the given equations.

Elements at index 1 and 2, i.e. arr[i] = 5, arr[j] = 4, satisfies the given equations.

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 2, 4, 5}, K = 3
Output: 2

Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to generate all possible pairs from the array and for each pair, check if the pair satisfies the given equation or not.
Time Complexity: O(N²)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can be optimized based on the following observations:

Observation:

A + B = (A ^ B) + 2 * (A & B)

While calculating sum, if both bits are 1(i.e., AND is 1), the resultant bit is 0, and 1 is added as carry, which means every bit in AND is left-shifted by 1, i.e. value of AND is multiplied by 2 and added.

Therefore, A + B = given equations.

Hence, this verifies the above observation.

Follow the below steps to solve the problem:

The problem now reduces to Two Sum problem and the task reduces to count pairs whose sum is equal to K.
Initialize an unordered_map, say mp, and a variable, say cnt, to count the number of pairs satisfying the given conditions.
Traverse the array and for each element:
- If mp[K – arr[i]] is not zero, then add its value to cnt.
- Update the frequency of arr[i] in Map.
Print the cnt as the answer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count number of pairs
// satisfying the given conditions
void countPairs(int arr[], int N, int K)
{
    // Stores the frequency of array elements
    unordered_map<int, int> mp;
 
    // Stores the total number of pairs
    int cnt = 0;
 
    // Traverse the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Add it to cnt
        cnt += mp[K - arr[i]];
 
        // Update frequency of
        // current array element
        mp[arr[i]]++;
    }
 
    // Print the count
    cout << cnt;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given array
    int arr[] = { 1, 5, 4, 8, 7 };
 
    // Size of the array
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    // Given value of K
    int K = 9;
 
    countPairs(arr, N, K);
 
    return 0;
}

        Map<Integer, Integer> mp = new HashMap<>();
 
        // Stores the total number of pairs
        int cnt = 0;
 
        // Traverse the array
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        {
 
            // Add it to cnt
            if (mp.get(K - arr[i]) != null)
                cnt += mp.get(K - arr[i]);
 
            // Update frequency of
            // current array element
            mp.put(arr[i], mp.get(arr[i]) == null
                               ? 1
                               : mp.get(arr[i]) + 1);
