2568. Minimum Impossible OR
May 17, 2024 · View on GitHub
Description
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums.
We say that an integer x is expressible from nums if there exist some integers 0 <= index1 < index2 < ... < indexk < nums.length for which nums[index1] | nums[index2] | ... | nums[indexk] = x. In other words, an integer is expressible if it can be written as the bitwise OR of some subsequence of nums.
Return the minimum positive non-zero integer that is not expressible from nums.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,1] Output: 4 Explanation: 1 and 2 are already present in the array. We know that 3 is expressible, since nums[0] | nums[1] = 2 | 1 = 3. Since 4 is not expressible, we return 4.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [5,3,2] Output: 1 Explanation: We can show that 1 is the smallest number that is not expressible.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 1051 <= nums[i] <= 109
Solutions
Solution 1: Enumerate Powers of 2
We start from the integer $1. If \1 is expressible, it must appear in the array `nums`. If \2 is expressible, it must also appear in the array `nums`. If both \1 and \2 are expressible, then their bitwise OR operation \3$ is also expressible, and so on.
Therefore, we can enumerate the powers of $2. If the currently enumerated \2^i is not in the array `nums`, then \2^i$ is the smallest unexpressible integer.
The time complexity is , and the space complexity is . Here, and are the length of the array nums and the maximum value in the array nums, respectively.
