3314. Construct the Minimum Bitwise Array I

Description

You are given an array nums consisting of n prime integers.

You need to construct an array ans of length n, such that, for each index i, the bitwise OR of ans[i] and ans[i] + 1 is equal to nums[i], i.e. ans[i] OR (ans[i] + 1) == nums[i].

Additionally, you must minimize each value of ans[i] in the resulting array.

If it is not possible to find such a value for ans[i] that satisfies the condition, then set ans[i] = -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,5,7]

Output: [-1,1,4,3]

Explanation:

  • For i = 0, as there is no value for ans[0] that satisfies ans[0] OR (ans[0] + 1) = 2, so ans[0] = -1.
  • For i = 1, the smallest ans[1] that satisfies ans[1] OR (ans[1] + 1) = 3 is 1, because 1 OR (1 + 1) = 3.
  • For i = 2, the smallest ans[2] that satisfies ans[2] OR (ans[2] + 1) = 5 is 4, because 4 OR (4 + 1) = 5.
  • For i = 3, the smallest ans[3] that satisfies ans[3] OR (ans[3] + 1) = 7 is 3, because 3 OR (3 + 1) = 7.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [11,13,31]

Output: [9,12,15]

Explanation:

  • For i = 0, the smallest ans[0] that satisfies ans[0] OR (ans[0] + 1) = 11 is 9, because 9 OR (9 + 1) = 11.
  • For i = 1, the smallest ans[1] that satisfies ans[1] OR (ans[1] + 1) = 13 is 12, because 12 OR (12 + 1) = 13.
  • For i = 2, the smallest ans[2] that satisfies ans[2] OR (ans[2] + 1) = 31 is 15, because 15 OR (15 + 1) = 31.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 100
  • 2 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • nums[i] is a prime number.

Solutions

Solution 1: Bit Manipulation

For an integer $a$, the result of $a \lor (a + 1)$ is always odd. Therefore, if $\text{nums[i]}$ is even, then $\text{ans}[i]$ does not exist, and we directly return $-1$. In this problem, $\textit{nums}[i]$ is a prime number, so to check if it is even, we only need to check if it equals $2$.

If $\text{nums[i]}$ is odd, suppose $\text{nums[i]} = \text{0b1101101}$. Since $a \lor (a + 1) = \text{nums[i]}$, this is equivalent to changing the last $0$ bit of $a$ to $1$. To solve for $a$, we need to change the bit after the last $0$ in $\text{nums[i]}$ to $0$. We start traversing from the least significant bit (index $1$) and find the first $0$ bit. If it is at position $i$, we change the $(i - 1)$-th bit of $\text{nums[i]}$ to $1$, i.e., $\text{ans}[i] = \text{nums[i]} \oplus 2^{i - 1}$.

By traversing all elements in $\text{nums}$, we can obtain the answer.

The time complexity is $O(n \times \log M)$, where $n$ and $M$ are the length of the array $\text{nums}$ and the maximum value in the array, respectively. Ignoring the space consumption of the answer array, the space complexity is $O(1)$.
