Given two arrays of positive integers. Select two sub-arrays of equal size from each array and calculate maximum possible OR sum of the two sub-arrays.
Note: Let f(x, l, r) is the OR sum of all the elements in the range [l, r] in array x.
Examples :
Input : A[] = {1, 2, 4, 3, 2}
B[] = {2, 3, 3, 12, 1}
Output : 22
Explanation: Here, one way to get maximum
sum is to select sub-array [l = 2, r = 4]
f(A, 2, 4) = 2|4|3 = 7
f(B, 2, 4) = 3|3|12 = 15
So, f(A, 2, 4) + f(B, 2, 4) = 7 + 15 = 22.
This sum can be achieved in many other ways.
Input : A[] = {1, 2, 2}
B[] = {2, 1, 3}
Output : 6
Observe the operation of Bitwise OR operator. If we take two integers X and Y, then (X|Y >= X). It can be proved by taking some examples. Lets derive a formula using the above equation.
and also
from the above two equations,
So, we get maximum sum when we take the OR of the whole array ->
Below is the implementation of above approach:
22
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
