Sum of All Subset XOR Totals

Easy

The XOR total of an list is defined as the bitwise XOR of all its elements , or 0 if the array is empty .

  • For example, the XOR total of the list [2,5,6] is 2 XOR 5 XOR 6 = 1 .

Given an array nums , produce the sum of all XOR totals for every subset of nums .

Note: Subsets with the same elements should be counted multiple times.

An list a is a subset of an array b if a can be obtained from b by deleting some (possibly zero) elements of b .

Example 1

Input: nums = [1,3]

Output: 6

Explanation: The 4 subsets of [1,3] are:

  • The empty subset has an XOR total of 0.

  • [1] has an XOR total of 1.

  • [3] has an XOR total of 3.

  • [1,3] has an XOR total of 1 XOR 3 = 2.

0 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 6

Example 2

Input: nums = [5,1,6]

Output: 28

Explanation: The 8 subsets of [5,1,6] are:

  • The empty subset has an XOR total of 0.

  • [5] has an XOR total of 5.

  • [1] has an XOR total of 1.

  • [6] has an XOR total of 6.

  • [5,1] has an XOR total of 5 XOR 1 = 4.

  • [5,6] has an XOR total of 5 XOR 6 = 3.

  • [1,6] has an XOR total of 1 XOR 6 = 7.

  • [5,1,6] has an XOR total of 5 XOR 1 XOR 6 = 2.

0 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 7 + 2 = 28

Example 3

Input: nums = [3,4,5,6,7,8]

Output: 480

Explanation: The sum of all XOR totals for every subset is 480.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 12
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 20
