Problem Understanding

We maintain a dynamic collection of integers, each representing a chemical. Over time, we insert new values into this set. At any moment, we are allowed to form a new value by taking any subset of currently available chemicals and XOR-ing all chosen elements together, including the empty subset which produces 0.

Each query of type two gives us an acid value a and a target mask b. We want to know whether there exists some value c that can be formed from subset XORs of the current set such that the bitwise AND of c with a equals exactly b.

So the core object is the XOR-span of all inserted numbers, and each query asks whether we can realize a vector in this XOR space whose projection onto the bitmask a equals b.

The constraints go up to 100,000 operations, so any solution that recomputes the entire XOR-subset space per query is immediately infeasible. The full subset space grows exponentially with the number of inserted elements, and even representing it explicitly becomes impossible.

A naive approach would try to maintain all reachable XOR values and test each query against them, but after even 30 inserts the set size already becomes astronomically large. Another naive mistake is to treat the set as a basis but forget that queries depend only on bitwise constraints, not full equality.

A subtle edge case appears when a has bits outside the span of available chemicals. For example, if all inserted numbers only use lower bits, but a includes a high bit and b requires it to be 1, the answer is immediately impossible regardless of subset XORs. Many incorrect solutions miss this projection constraint.

Approaches

The key observation is that although subset XORs form a large space, they form a linear subspace over GF(2). Every inserted number contributes to a basis, and any achievable XOR is a linear combination of basis vectors.

This means we do not care about all subsets, only the XOR basis of the set. Maintaining a linear basis over 30 bits allows us to represent exactly the set of all possible XOR results.

The query condition c & a = b restricts the bits of c on positions where a has 1s. For every bit where a is 1, we either require c to match b or allow freedom when a is 0. This splits the problem into constraints on a projected subspace.

We can think of constructing c bit-by-bit only in the positions where a matters. For bits outside a, we do not care what c does, so those bits are free variables that can always be adjusted using available basis vectors.

The crucial reduction is that we only need to check whether the basis can generate a value consistent with constraints. This becomes a reachability problem in a 30-dimensional XOR space with fixed bit constraints, solvable by greedily attempting to satisfy required bits using Gaussian elimination logic on the basis.

We process bits from high to low, trying to construct a valid c using the basis while respecting forced bits from b.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We maintain a binary linear basis over 30 bits.

  1. Initialize an array basis[30] where basis[i] stores a vector whose highest set bit is i. This ensures every number is reduced to a canonical representation.
  2. For each insertion c, iterate from bit 29 down to 0. If bit i is set in c, and basis[i] is empty, we store c there and stop. If basis[i] already exists, we XOR c with basis[i] to eliminate that bit and continue. This step ensures all basis vectors remain independent.
  3. To answer a query (a, b), we try to determine whether there exists some XOR combination c that satisfies (c & a) = b.
  4. First, we validate consistency of required bits in b. If a bit is 1 in b, it must also be 1 in a, otherwise it is impossible since c & a cannot introduce bits not in a.
  5. We construct a target pattern over the constrained bits by attempting to use the basis to match required contributions on bits where a is 1.
  6. We greedily try to eliminate high bits first using basis vectors, effectively checking whether we can construct a vector whose projection matches b.

Why it works

The set of all XOR-combinations of inserted numbers forms a vector space over GF(2). The basis maintained is a full rank representation of this space, so every achievable c corresponds to some subset of basis vectors. The condition (c & a) = b is a system of linear constraints restricted to selected coordinates. Checking feasibility reduces to determining whether the system has a solution in the subspace spanned by the basis, which Gaussian elimination over bits correctly decides. Since every transformation preserves equivalence of reachable space, no valid construction is ever lost.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

class XorBasis:
    def __init__(self):
        self.b = [0] * 30

    def insert(self, x):
        for i in range(29, -1, -1):
            if not (x >> i) & 1:
                continue
            if self.b[i] == 0:
                self.b[i] = x
                return
            x ^= self.b[i]

    def can_build_projection(self, a, b):
        # check impossible bits
        if b & ~a:
            return False

        # try to build a value consistent with constraints
        x = 0
        for i in range(29, -1, -1):
            if (a >> i) & 1:
                # we want bit i of (x & a) to match b
                # so we try to control x[i]
                if ((x >> i) & 1) != ((b >> i) & 1):
                    if self.b[i] == 0:
                        return False
                    x ^= self.b[i]
        return True

def main():
    q = int(input())
    xb = XorBasis()
    out = []

    for _ in range(q):
        tmp = list(map(int, input().split()))
        if tmp[0] == 1:
            xb.insert(tmp[1])
        else:
            _, a, b = tmp
            out.append("YES" if xb.can_build_projection(a, b) else "NO")

    print("\n".join(out))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The insertion logic is standard XOR basis maintenance. Each number is reduced by existing basis vectors until either it becomes zero or introduces a new pivot bit.

The query logic first checks structural impossibility: if b has a bit outside a, no constructed c can satisfy the AND condition. Then we greedily fix bits from high to low, using basis vectors to flip bits in the constructed candidate whenever it disagrees with b.

The greedy nature is valid because higher bits dominate the canonical representation of the basis, so decisions at higher indices do not get undone later.

Worked Examples

We use the sample input.

Trace 1

Input:

1 3
2 3 2
2 2 2

We track basis insertion and query evaluation.

Step Operation Basis state (non-zero pivots) Query Result
1 insert 3 {3} - -
2 query (3,2) {3} check NO
3 query (2,2) {3} check YES

The first query fails because any XOR combination is either 0 or 3, and neither matches required AND pattern with 3 producing 2. The second query succeeds because choosing 0 satisfies (0 & 2) = 0, but since basis allows adjustment under projection constraints, 2 is achievable under the system interpretation.

Trace 2

Input:

1 1
1 2
2 3 2
Step Operation Basis state Query Result
1 insert 1 {1} - -
2 insert 2 {2,1} - -
3 query (3,2) {1,2} YES/NO decision YES

The basis now spans all combinations of 1 and 2, allowing construction of all bit patterns over two lowest bits, so the required projection is achievable.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time O(30q) Each insertion and query touches at most 30 bits
Space O(30) Basis stores one vector per bit

The constraints allow up to 100,000 queries, and each operation is constant in a small fixed dimension. This fits comfortably within limits.

                if (x >> i) & 1:
                    if self.b[i] == 0:

Edge Cases

A key edge case is when b contains bits not present in a. For example, a = 2 (10), b = 3 (11) is immediately impossible since (c & 2) can never produce the lowest bit. The check b & ~a handles this directly, and the algorithm rejects it before any basis reasoning.

Another case is when no chemicals are inserted. The only constructible value is 0, so any query reduces to checking whether (0 & a) == b, which is only true when b = 0. The basis starts empty, and the greedy construction naturally fails whenever a required bit cannot be produced, correctly returning NO except in the trivial case.
