Bitwise ORs of Subarrays
Hazrat Ali
Leetcode
Given an integer array arr, return the number of distinct bitwise ORs of all the non-empty subarrays of arr.
The bitwise OR of a subarray is the bitwise OR of each integer in the subarray. The bitwise OR of a subarray of one integer is that integer.
A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [0] Output: 1 Explanation: There is only one possible result: 0.
Example 2:
Input: arr = [1,1,2] Output: 3 Explanation: The possible subarrays are [1], [1], [2], [1, 1], [1, 2], [1, 1, 2]. These yield the results 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 3. There are 3 unique values, so the answer is 3.
Example 3:
Input: arr = [1,2,4] Output: 6 Explanation: The possible results are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} arr
* @return {number}
