Check whether bitwise OR of N numbers is Even or Odd

Given an array arr[] containing N numbers. The task is to check whether the bitwise-OR of the given N numbers is even or odd.

Examples



Input : arr[] = { 2, 12, 20, 36, 38 }
Output : Even Bit-wise OR

Input : arr[] = { 3, 9, 12, 13, 15 }
Output : Odd Bit-wise OR



A Simple Solution is to first find the OR of the given N numbers, then check if this OR is even or odd.




// C++ implementation to check whether
// bitwise OR of n numbers is even or odd
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if bitwise OR
// of n numbers is even or odd
bool check(int arr[], int n)
{
    int x=arr[0];// assigining the biswise or of given array to x.
  for(int i=1;i<n;i++){
      x=x | arr[i];
  }
  if(x%2==0)// checking is even or not.
        return false;// if x is even then returning false.
  return true;// if x is odd returning true.
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 3, 9, 12, 13, 15 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    if (check(arr, n))
        cout << "Odd Bit-wise OR";
    else
        cout << "Even Bit-wise OR";
    return 0;
}




import java.util.*;
 
public class Gfg {
 
    // Function to check if bitwise OR
    // of n numbers is even or odd
    static boolean check(int[] arr, int n) {
        int x = arr[0]; // assigning the bitwise OR of given array to x.
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            x = x | arr[i];
        }
        // checking if x is even or not.
        if (x % 2 == 0)
            return false; // if x is even then returning false.
        return true; // if x is odd returning true.
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] arr = { 3, 9, 12, 13, 15 };
        int n = arr.length;
 
        if (check(arr, n))
            System.out.println("Odd Bit-wise OR");
        else
            System.out.println("Even Bit-wise OR");

// Driver Code
let arr = [3, 9, 12, 13, 15];
 
if (check(arr))
console.log("Odd Bit-wise OR");

Output
Odd Bit-wise OR

A Better Solution is based on bit manipulation and Mathematical facts. 

Based on the above facts, it can be deduced that if at least one odd number is present in the array then the bitwise OR of the whole array will be odd otherwise even.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 




// C++ implementation to check whether
// bitwise OR of n numbers is even or odd
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if bitwise OR
// of n numbers is even or odd
bool check(int arr[], int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // if at least one odd number is found,
        // then the bitwise OR of all numbers will be odd
        if (arr[i] & 1)
            return true;
    }
 
    // Bitwise OR is an odd number
    return false;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 3, 9, 12, 13, 15 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    if (check(arr, n))
        cout << "Odd Bit-wise OR";
    else
        cout << "Even Bit-wise OR";
    return 0;
}




// Java implementation to check whether
// bitwise OR of n numbers is even or odd
class GFG {
 
    // Function to check if bitwise OR
    // of n numbers is even or odd
    static boolean check(int arr[], int n)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            // if at least one odd number is
            // found, then the bitwise OR of
            // all numbers will be odd
            if (arr[i] % 2 == 1) {
                return true;
            }
        }
 
        // Bitwise OR is an odd number
        return false;
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int arr[] = { 3, 9, 12, 13, 15 };
        int n = arr.length;
 
        if (check(arr, n)) {
            System.out.println("Odd Bit-wise OR");
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("Even Bit-wise OR");
        }
    }
