Given an array arr[] containing N integers and there are Q queries where each query consists of a range [L, R]. The task is to find whether all the elements from the given index range have even frequency or not.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {1, 1, 2, 2, 1}, Q[][] = {{1, 5}, {1, 4}, {3, 4}} 
Output: 
No 
Yes 
Yes
Input: arr[] = {100, 100, 200, 100}, Q[][] = {{1, 4}, {1, 2}} 
Output: 
No 
Yes 
 

 

Naive approach: A simple approach will be to iterate from the index range [L, R] for each of the query and count the frequency of each element in that range and check that every element is occurring even number of times or not. The worst case time complexity of this approach will be O(Q * N) where Q is the number of queries and N is the number of elements in the array.
Efficient approach: Since XOR of two equal number is 0 i.e. if all the elements of the array appears even number of times then the XOR of the complete array will be 0. The same can be said about the elements in the given range [L, R]. Now, to check if the XOR of all the elements in the given range is 0 or not, a prefix XOR array can be created where preXor[i] will store the XOR of the elements arr[0…i]. And the XOR of the elements arr[i…j] can be easily calculated as preXor[j] ^ preXor[i – 1].
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to perform the given queries
void performQueries(vector<int>& A,
                    vector<pair<int, int> >& q)
{
 
    int n = (int)A.size();
 
    // Making array 1-indexed
    A.insert(A.begin(), 0);
 
    // To store the cumulative xor
    vector<int> pref_xor(n + 1, 0);
 
    // Taking cumulative Xor
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i) {
        pref_xor[i]
            = pref_xor[i - 1] ^ A[i];
    }
 
    // Iterating over the queries
    for (auto i : q) {
        int L = i.first, R = i.second;
        if (L > R)
            swap(L, R);
 
        // If both indices are different and xor
        // in the range [L, R] is 0
        if (L != R and pref_xor[R] == pref_xor[L - 1])
            cout << "Yes\n";
        else
            cout << "No\n";
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    vector<int> Arr = { 1, 1, 2, 2, 1 };
 
    vector<pair<int, int> > q = {
        { 1, 5 },
        { 1, 4 },
        { 3, 4 }
 
    };
 
    performQueries(Arr, q);
 
    return 0;
