Construct an array from XOR of all elements of array except element at same index

Given an array A[] having n positive elements. The task to create another array B[] such as B[i] is XOR of all elements of array A[] except A[i].
Examples : 
 

Input : A[] = {2, 1, 5, 9}
Output : B[] = {13, 14, 10, 6}

Input : A[] = {2, 1, 3, 6}
Output : B[] = {4, 7, 5, 0}

 

Recommended Practice

Naive Approach : 
We can simple calculate B[i] as XOR of all elements of A[] except A[i], as 
 

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
    B[i] = 0;
    for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
        if ( i != j)
            B[i] ^= A[j];
}

Time complexity for this naive approach is O (n^2). 
Auxiliary Space for this naive approach is O (n).
Optimized Approach : 
First calculate XOR of all elements of array A[] say ‘xor’, and for each element of array A[] calculate A[i] = xor ^ A[i]
 

int xor = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    xor ^= A[i];

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        A[i] = xor ^ A[i];

Time complexity for this approach is O (n). 
Auxiliary Space for this approach is O (1).
