3393. Count Paths With the Given XOR Value

Description

You are given a 2D integer array grid with size m x n. You are also given an integer k.

Your task is to calculate the number of paths you can take from the top-left cell (0, 0) to the bottom-right cell (m - 1, n - 1) satisfying the following constraints:

  • You can either move to the right or down. Formally, from the cell (i, j) you may move to the cell (i, j + 1) or to the cell (i + 1, j) if the target cell exists.
  • The XOR of all the numbers on the path must be equal to k.

Return the total number of such paths.

Since the answer can be very large, return the result modulo 109 + 7.

 

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[2, 1, 5], [7, 10, 0], [12, 6, 4]], k = 11

Output: 3

Explanation: 

The 3 paths are:

  • (0, 0) → (1, 0) → (2, 0) → (2, 1) → (2, 2)
  • (0, 0) → (1, 0) → (1, 1) → (1, 2) → (2, 2)
  • (0, 0) → (0, 1) → (1, 1) → (2, 1) → (2, 2)

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[1, 3, 3, 3], [0, 3, 3, 2], [3, 0, 1, 1]], k = 2

Output: 5

Explanation:

The 5 paths are:

  • (0, 0) → (1, 0) → (2, 0) → (2, 1) → (2, 2) → (2, 3)
  • (0, 0) → (1, 0) → (1, 1) → (2, 1) → (2, 2) → (2, 3)
  • (0, 0) → (1, 0) → (1, 1) → (1, 2) → (1, 3) → (2, 3)
  • (0, 0) → (0, 1) → (1, 1) → (1, 2) → (2, 2) → (2, 3)
  • (0, 0) → (0, 1) → (0, 2) → (1, 2) → (2, 2) → (2, 3)

Example 3:

Input: grid = [[1, 1, 1, 2], [3, 0, 3, 2], [3, 0, 2, 2]], k = 10

Output: 0

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= m == grid.length <= 300
  • 1 <= n == grid[r].length <= 300
  • 0 <= grid[r][c] < 16
  • 0 <= k < 16

Solutions

Solution 1

Thinking

We walk from the top-left to the bottom-right (right or down only) with path XOR equal to \(k\). The grid is at most \(300 \times 300\) and values are below \(16\), so \(f[i][j][x]\) fits.

The XOR domain has size \(16\). A transition into \((i,j)\) XORs \(\textit{grid}[i][j]\) onto paths from above and from the left.

The answer is \(f[m-1][n-1][k]\) modulo \(10^9+7\).
