Range Queries to count the number of even parity values with updates

Last Updated : 13 Apr, 2021

Given an array arr[] of N integers, the task is to perform the following two queries:

query(L, R): Print the number of Even Parity numbers in the subarray from L to R.
update(i, x): Update the array element reference by index i to x.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {18, 15, 8, 9, 14, 5}
Query 1: query(L = 0, R = 4)
Query 2: update(i = 3, x = 11)
Query 3: query(L = 0, R = 4)
Output:
3
2
Explanation:
Query 1: Subarray is {18, 15, 8, 9, 14}
Binary Representation of these elements –
18 => 10010, Parity = 2
15 => 1111, Parity = 4
8 => 1000, Parity = 1
9 => 1001, Parity = 2
14 => 1110, Parity = 3
Subarray[0-4] have 3 elements with even parity.
Query 2: Update arr[3] = 11
Updated array, {18, 15, 8, 11, 14, 5}
Query 3: Subarray is {18, 15, 8, 11, 14}
Binary Representation of these elements –
18 => 10010, Parity = 2
15 => 1111, Parity = 4
8 => 1000, Parity = 1
11 => 1011, Parity = 3
14 => 1110, Parity = 3
Subarray[0-4] have 2 elements with even parity.

Approach: The idea is to use segment tree to query the count of the even parity elements in a array range and update simultaneously.
We can find the parity for the current value by iterating through each bit of the binary representation of the number and counting the number of set bits. Then check if the parity is even or not. If it has even parity the set it to 1 else to 0.

Building the segment tree:

Leaf nodes of the segment tree is represented as either 0 (if it is odd parity number) or 1 (if it is even parity number).
The internal nodes of the segment tree equal to the sum of its child nodes, thus a node represent the total Even Parity numbers in the range from L to R with range [L, R] falling under this node and the sub-tree underneath it.

Handling Queries:

Query(L, R): Whenever we receive a query from start to end, we can query the segment tree for the sum of nodes in the range from start to end, which in turn represents the number of Even Parity numbers in the range start to end.
Update(i, x): To perform a update query to update the value at index i to x, we check for the following cases:
- Case 1: If previous value and new value both are Even Parity numbers
  Count of Even Parity numbers in the subarray does not change so we just update array and do not modify the segment tree
- Case 2: If previous value and new value both are not Even Parity numbers
  Count of Even Parity numbers in the subarray does not change so we just update array and do not modify the segment tree
- Case 3: If previous value is a Even Parity number but new value is not a Even Parity number
  Count of Even Parity numbers in the subarray decreases so we update array and add -1 to every range. The index i which is to be updated is a part of in the segment tree
- Case 4: If previous value is not a Even Parity number but new value is a Even Parity number
  Count of Even Parity numbers in the subarray increases so we update array and add 1 to every range. The index i which is to be updated is a part of in the segment tree

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation to find
// number of Even Parity numbers
// in a subarray and performing updates
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
#define MAX 1000
 
// Function that returns true if count
// of set bits in x is even
bool isEvenParity(int x)
{
    // parity will store the
    // count of set bits
    int parity = 0;
    while (x != 0) {
        if (x & 1)
            parity++;
        x = x >> 1;
    }
 
    if (parity % 2 == 0)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
