TOJ 3176 Challenge from XOR

Description

Mr. AngelClover just learnt XOR on his Computer Class. XOR is a bit arithmetic operator that returns one value if one, but not both, of its operands is one. It is also called Exclusive-OR. Now Mr. AngelClover wonders if it is possible to pick up some numbers from a certain number set, such that the result of Exclusive-OR is zero. And he wants the numbers to be as few as possible but there should be at least one.
Can you help him?

Input

The first line is a positive integer N, which means the number of the number set. And there are N lines followed, in each there is a single positive integer, which is the number in the set. Each number in the set is an integer between 0 and 2^16 inclusive. 0< N <=30. (Please use standard input, and don’t read or write files.)

Output

There is only one line in the output, which is the smallest number as described above. If Mr. AngelClover can NOT find such numbers after XOR is zero, output -1. (Please use standard output, and don’t read or write files.)

Sample Input

4
1
2
3
4

Sample Output

3

Hint

Numbers which are picked up are 1, 2, 3.

For 40% input data cases, N <= 15.

题目意思就是选几个数进行异或运算结果为0的最小个数 。一开始用觉得数据不大，用深搜果断超时。

后来想想觉得应该让个数最小深搜会产生大量没用的结果而且要全部遍历，改用广搜。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;

int n;
int a[40];
int ans;

struct Node{
    int val;
    int step;
    int bs;
};

int bfs(){
    queue<Node> Q;
    Node n1;
    n1.val=0;
    n1.step=0;
    n1.bs=0;
    Q.push(n1);
    while(!Q.empty()){        
        Node now=Q.front();
        Q.pop();
        for(int i=now.bs; i<n; i++){
            int  v=a[i]^now.val;
            if(v==0)return now.step+1;
            else{
                Node n2;
                n2.val=v;
                n2.step=now.step+1;
                n2.bs=i+1;
                Q.push(n2);
            }
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    while( scanf("%d",&n)!=EOF ){
        for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
            scanf("%d",&a[i]);
        }
        ans=bfs();
        printf("%d
",ans);
    }
    return 0;
}
