Binary array after M range toggle operations

Consider a binary array consisting of N elements (initially all elements are 0). After that, you are given M commands where each command is of form a b, which means you have to toggle all the elements of the array in range a to b (both inclusive). After the execution of all M commands, you have to find the resultant array.

Examples:

Input : N = 5, M = 3
        C1 = 1 3, C2 = 4 5, C3 = 1 4
Output : Resultant array = {0, 0, 0, 0, 1} 
Explanation :
Initial array : {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
After first toggle : {1, 1, 1, 0, 0}
After second toggle : {1, 1, 1, 1, 1}
After third toggle :  {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}

Input : N = 5, M = 5
        C1 = 1 5, C2 = 1 5, C3 = 1 5,
        C4 = 1 5, C5 = 1 5
Output : Resultant array = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1} 

Naive Approach: For the given N we should create a bool array of n+1 elements and for each of M commands we have to iterate from a to b and toggle all elements in the range of a to b with help of XOR. 

The complexity of this approach is O(n^2).  

for (int i = 1; i > a >> b;
    for (int j = a; j <= b; j++)
        arr[j] ^= 1;

Efficient Approach: The idea is based on the sample problem discussed in the Prefix Sum Array article. For the given n, we create a bool array of n+2 elements and for each of M commands, we have to just toggle elements a and b+1 with help of XOR. After all commands we will process the array as arr[i] ^= arr[i-1]; 

The complexity of this approach is O(n).

Implementation:

C++

// CPP program to find modified array after
// m range toggle operations.
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// function for toggle
void command(bool arr[], int a, int b)
{
    arr[a] ^= 1;
    arr[b+1] ^= 1;
}

// function for final processing of array
void process(bool arr[], int n)
{
    for (int k=1; k<=n; k++)
        arr[k] ^= arr[k-1];
}

// function for printing result
void result(bool arr[], int n)
{
    for (int k=1; k<=n; k++)
        cout << arr[k] <<" ";
}

// driver program
int main()
{
    int n = 5, m = 3;
    bool arr[n+2] = {0};

    // function call for toggle
    command(arr, 1, 5);
    command(arr, 2, 5);
    command(arr, 3, 5);

    // process array
    process(arr, n);

    // print result
    result(arr, n);
    return 0;
}
