A9594 | Design Tutorial: Change the Goal

There are some tasks which have the following structure: you are given a model, and you can do some operations, you should use these operations to achive the goal. One way to create a new task is to use the same model and same operations, but change the goal.

Let's have a try. I have created the following task for Topcoder SRM 557 Div1-Hard: you are given $n$ integers $x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n}$ . You are allowed to perform the assignments (as many as you want) of the following form $x_{i}$ ^= $x_{j}$ (in the original task $i$ and $j$ must be different, but in this task we allow $i$ to equal $j$ ). The goal is to maximize the sum of all $x_{i}$ .

Now we just change the goal. You are also given $n$ integers $y_{1},y_{2},...,y_{n}$ . You should make $x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n}$ exactly equal to $y_{1},y_{2},...,y_{n}$ . In other words, for each $i$ number $x_{i}$ should be equal to $y_{i}$ .
