Given a tree, and the weights of all the nodes and an integer x, the task is to find a node i such that weight[i] xor x is maximum.
Examples: 
 

Input: 
 

x = 15 
Output:
Node 1: 5 xor 15 = 10 
Node 2: 10 xor 15 = 5 
Node 3: 11 xor 15 = 4 
Node 4: 8 xor 15 = 7 
Node 5: 6 xor 15 = 9 
 

 

Approach: Perform dfs on the tree and keep track of the node whose weighted xor with x gives the maximum value.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int maximum = INT_MIN, x, ans;
 
vector<int> graph[100];
vector<int> weight(100);
 
// Function to perform dfs to find
// the maximum xored value
void dfs(int node, int parent)
{
    // If current value is less than
    // the current maximum
    if (maximum < (weight[node] ^ x)) {
        maximum = weight[node] ^ x;
        ans = node;
    }
    for (int to : graph[node]) {
        if (to == parent)
            continue;
        dfs(to, node);
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    x = 15;
 
    // Weights of the node
    weight[1] = 5;
    weight[2] = 10;
    weight[3] = 11;
    weight[4] = 8;
    weight[5] = 6;
 
    // Edges of the tree
    graph[1].push_back(2);
    graph[2].push_back(3);
    graph[2].push_back(4);
    graph[1].push_back(5);
 
    dfs(1, 1);
 
    cout << ans;
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
    static int maximum = Integer.MIN_VALUE, x, ans;
 
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    static Vector<Integer>[] graph = new Vector[100];
    static int[] weight = new int[100];
 
    // This block is executed even before main() function
    // This is necessary otherwise this program will
    // throw "NullPointerException"
    static
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            graph[i] = new Vector<>();
    }
 
    // Function to perform dfs to find
    // the maximum xored value
    static void dfs(int node, int parent)
    {
 
        // If current value is less than
        // the current maximum
        if (maximum < (weight[node] ^ x))
        {
            maximum = weight[node] ^ x;
            ans = node;
        }
        for (int to : graph[node])
        {
            if (to == parent)
                continue;
            dfs(to, node);
        }
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        x = 15;
 
        // Weights of the node
        weight[1] = 5;
        weight[2] = 10;
        weight[3] = 11;
        weight[4] = 8;
        weight[5] = 6;
 
        // Edges of the tree
        graph[1].add(2);
        graph[2].add(3);
        graph[2].add(4);
        graph[1].add(5);
 
        dfs(1, 1);
 
        System.out.println(ans);
    }
}

let ans = [];
 
let graph = new Array();
 
for(let i = 0; i < 100; i++){
    graph.push(new Array().fill(0));
}
 
let weight = new Array(100).fill(0);
 
 
// Function to perform dfs to find

Output:

Complexity Analysis: 
 

  • Time Complexity : O(N). 
    In dfs, every node of the tree is processed once and hence the complexity due to the dfs is O(N) if there are total N nodes in the tree. Therefore, the time complexity is O(N).
  • Auxiliary Space : O(1). 
    Any extra space is not required, so the space complexity is constant.
