2564. Substring XOR Queries

Description

You are given a binary string s, and a 2D integer array queries where queries[i] = [firsti, secondi].

For the ith query, find the shortest substring of s whose decimal value, val, yields secondi when bitwise XORed with firsti. In other words, val ^ firsti == secondi.

The answer to the ith query is the endpoints (0-indexed) of the substring [lefti, righti] or [-1, -1] if no such substring exists. If there are multiple answers, choose the one with the minimum lefti.

Return an array ans where ans[i] = [lefti, righti] is the answer to the ith query.

A substring is a contiguous non-empty sequence of characters within a string.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "101101", queries = [[0,5],[1,2]]
Output: [[0,2],[2,3]]
Explanation: For the first query the substring in range [0,2] is "101" which has a decimal value of 5, and 5 ^ 0 = 5, hence the answer to the first query is [0,2]. In the second query, the substring in range [2,3] is "11", and has a decimal value of 3, and 3 ^ 1 = 2. So, [2,3] is returned for the second query.

Example 2:

Input: s = "0101", queries = [[12,8]]
Output: [[-1,-1]]
Explanation: In this example there is no substring that answers the query, hence [-1,-1] is returned.

Example 3:

Input: s = "1", queries = [[4,5]]
Output: [[0,0]]
Explanation: For this example, the substring in range [0,0] has a decimal value of 1, and 1 ^ 4 = 5. So, the answer is [0,0].

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 104
  • s[i] is either '0' or '1'.
  • 1 <= queries.length <= 105
  • 0 <= firsti, secondi <= 109

Solutions

Solution 1: Preprocessing + Enumeration

We can first preprocess all substrings of length $1$ to $32$ into their corresponding decimal values, find the minimum index and the corresponding right endpoint index for each value, and store them in the hash table $d$.

Then we enumerate each query. For each query $[first, second]$, we only need to check in the hash table $d$ whether there exists a key-value pair with the key as $first \oplus second$. If it exists, add the corresponding minimum index and right endpoint index to the answer array. Otherwise, add $[-1, -1]$.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log M + m)$, and the space complexity is $O(n \times \log M)$. Where $n$ and $m$ are the lengths of the string $s$ and the query array $queries$ respectively, and $M$ can take the maximum value of an integer $2^{31} - 1$.
