Cow XOR
Adrian Vladu -- 2005
Farmer John is stuck with another problem while feeding his cows.
All of his N (1 ≤ N ≤ 100,000) cows (numbered 1..N) are
lined up in front of the barn, sorted by their rank in their social
hierarchy. Cow #1 has the highest rank; cow #N has the least rank.
Every cow had additionally been assigned a non-unique integer number
in the range 0..(221 - 1).
Help FJ choose which cows will be fed first by selecting a
sequence of consecutive cows in the line such that the bitwise "xor"
between their assigned numbers has the maximum value. If there are
several such sequences, choose the sequence for which its last cow
has the highest rank. If there still is a tie, choose the shortest
sequence.
TIME LIMIT: 0.5 sec
PROGRAM NAME: cowxor
INPUT FORMAT
- Line 1: A single integer N
- Lines 2..N+1: N integers ranging from 0 to 221 - 1, representing the cows‘ assigned
numbers. Line j describes cow of social hierarchy j-1.
SAMPLE INPUT (file cowxor.in)
5 1 0 5 4 2
INPUT DETAILS:
There are 5 cows. Cow #1 had been assigned with 1; cow #2 with 0; cow #3 with 5; cow #4 with 4; cow #5 with 2.
OUTPUT FORMAT
- Line 1: Three space-separated integers, respectively: the maximum requested value, the position where the sequence begins, the position where the sequence ends.
SAMPLE OUTPUT (file cowxor.out)
6 4 5
OUTPUT DETAILS:
4 xor 2 = 6 (001) xor (010) = (011)
题目大意：找到一个连续的区间，使各数异或之后的结果最大。
算法：用a[i]表示a[1...i]的异或结果，则任一区间的异或结果s[i...j]=a[i-1] xor a[j].
现在问题变成了，对于每一个j，我们需要找到一个i≤j，使得a[i-1] xor a[j]最大。
这时候我们可以用trie树实现这样的一个查找。
我们将a中的元素先转化成二进制字符串再插入到trie中，因此trie树中每一个节点对应一条0和一条1的边。
此时a[j]的二进制字符串对应一条从trie树的根节点走到叶子节点的路径，我们在找符合条件的a[i-1]的过程就是从根节点出发，在某一深度上尽量沿着与a[j]相反的边来走，就是说，假设a[j]的某一位是1，那a[i-1]应尽量取0（就是走0的边），不存在此边的时候再选另一边。
注意这里的数组不能开到221，usaco会MLE，实际上完全不用这么大，数据虽然很大，但是并不是每个结点都有0,1两条边。
