Problem Understanding

For every triple $(a_i,b_i,c_i)$, we build an array that contains $a_i$ exactly $x$ times, $b_i$ exactly $y$ times, and $c_i$ exactly $z$ times.

From each of the $n$ arrays we choose one value. The XOR of all chosen values is some number $t$. For every $t \in [0,2^k-1]$, we must count how many different choices produce that XOR.

A useful way to view a single array is as a frequency distribution over values. Array $i$ contributes

$$f_i[v] = \begin{cases} x & v=a_i\ y & v=b_i\ z & v=c_i\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$

If we XOR-convolve all these distributions, the resulting array contains exactly the required answers.

The constraints are what make the problem difficult. We have $n \le 10^5$, while $2^k \le 131072$. A direct XOR convolution over $10^5$ distributions of length $131072$ is completely impossible. Even touching every position for every triple would require about $10^{10}$ operations.

The structure of each distribution is extremely sparse. Every $f_i$ contains only three non-zero positions. The entire solution comes from exploiting that sparsity inside the Walsh-Hadamard transform.

A subtle edge case appears when some of $x,y,z$ are zero.

For example:

1 1
0 1 0
0 1 0

The only selectable value is $1$. The answer must be:

0 1

A careless implementation that treats the three values symmetrically and forgets their multiplicities would incorrectly count impossible choices.

Another easy mistake is assuming $a_i,b_i,c_i$ are distinct.

Example:

1 1
2 3 4
1 1 0

The constructed array contains value $1$ five times and value $0$ four times. The answer is:

4 5

The multiplicities add together. Treating the three positions as different symbols would overcount.

A third pitfall comes from negative Walsh coefficients. After transformation we obtain expressions such as $x-y-z$. These must be handled modulo $998244353$. Using ordinary integer powers without modular reduction produces incorrect results.

Approaches

The brute-force interpretation is straightforward.

Each array defines a distribution over XOR values. If we XOR-convolve the distributions one by one, the final distribution contains the answer for every target XOR.

The XOR convolution of two arrays of length $2^k$ costs $O(2^{2k})$ directly. Even using the Walsh-Hadamard transform, each distribution has length $2^k$, so processing all $n$ distributions independently would require

$$O(n \cdot 2^k).$$

With $n=10^5$ and $2^k=131072$, this is far beyond the limit.

The key observation is that after an XOR Walsh-Hadamard transform, a sparse distribution

$$x\delta_{a_i}+y\delta_{b_i}+z\delta_{c_i}$$

becomes

$$x\chi_v(a_i)+y\chi_v(b_i)+z\chi_v(c_i),$$

where

$$\chi_v(t)=(-1)^{\langle v,t\rangle}.$$

For a fixed frequency $v$, every transformed value is simply a linear combination of $x,y,z$ with coefficients $\pm1$. There are only eight possible sign patterns.

Instead of tracking every triple separately, we only need to know how many triples generate each of the eight sign patterns for the current frequency. Once those counts are known, the transformed product is just a product of eight powers.

The remaining challenge is recovering those eight counts for every frequency. The trick is to compute Walsh transforms of the seven arrays corresponding to

$$a,\ b,\ c,\ a\oplus b,\ a\oplus c,\ b\oplus c,\ a\oplus b\oplus c.$$

Those transformed values are exactly the Walsh moments needed to reconstruct the sign-pattern counts via a tiny $8 \times 8$ Hadamard inverse.

Algorithm Walkthrough

  1. Let $m = 2^k$.
  2. Build seven frequency arrays of length $m$:

$$A,\ B,\ C,\ AB,\ AC,\ BC,\ ABC$$

where, for example, $AB[t]$ counts how many indices satisfy

$$a_i \oplus b_i = t.$$ 3. Apply XOR Walsh-Hadamard transform to all seven arrays. 4. For a fixed frequency $v$, collect the eight Walsh moments:

$$T = \bigl[ n, A[v], B[v], C[v], AB[v], AC[v], BC[v], ABC[v] \bigr].$$ 5. Think of every triple as producing a sign pattern

$$(\alpha,\beta,\gamma) \in {\pm1}^3$$

where

$$\alpha=\chi_v(a_i), \quad \beta=\chi_v(b_i), \quad \gamma=\chi_v(c_i).$$

Let $e_p$ be the number of triples producing pattern $p$. 6. The vector $T$ is exactly the Walsh transform of the count vector $e$. Apply the inverse $8$-point Hadamard transform to recover all eight values $e_p$. 7. For every sign pattern $p=(s_x,s_y,s_z)$, define

$$w_p=s_xx+s_yy+s_zz.$$ 8. Compute

$$G[v] = \prod_p w_p^{e_p} \pmod{998244353}.$$

This is the transformed answer at frequency $v$. 9. After all frequencies are processed, apply the inverse XOR Walsh-Hadamard transform to $G$. 10. Divide by $m$ modulo $998244353$, which is the standard inverse step for XOR FWT. 11. The resulting array is exactly the number of ways to obtain each XOR value.

Why it works

For a fixed frequency $v$, the Walsh transform converts XOR convolution into ordinary multiplication. The transformed contribution of one triple depends only on the three signs $\chi_v(a_i)$, $\chi_v(b_i)$, and $\chi_v(c_i)$. There are only eight possibilities.

The seven transformed counting arrays provide all pairwise and triple sign moments. Together with the total count $n$, they form the complete $8$-point Walsh transform of the sign-pattern distribution. Recovering that distribution gives the exact multiplicity of every possible value $s_xx+s_yy+s_zz$.

Multiplying those values with the recovered exponents reproduces the transformed product of all original distributions. Since Walsh-Hadamard is an invertible transform for XOR convolution, applying the inverse transform yields the required answer array.

solve()

The seven counting arrays encode exactly the XOR combinations that appear in the Walsh moments. After transforming them, every frequency position contains enough information to reconstruct the distribution of sign patterns.

The $8 \times 8$ matrix is the ordinary Hadamard matrix. Applying it and dividing by $8$ recovers the counts $e_p$. These counts are guaranteed to be integers because they come from an exact inverse Walsh transform.

One implementation detail that is easy to miss is that the forward transform is performed over integers, not modulo $998244353$. Walsh coefficients can be negative, and the reconstruction formula relies on exact integer values. Modular arithmetic is only required when computing powers and when performing the final inverse transform.

Worked Examples

Sample 1

Input:

1 1
1 2 3
1 0 1

For $k=1$, there are only two frequencies.

Frequency $v$ $\chi_v(1)$ $\chi_v(0)$ Transformed value
0 1 1 $1+2+3=6$
1 -1 1 $-1+2-3=-2$

After inverse Walsh transform:

XOR value Count
0 2
1 4

This matches the sample output.

Sample 2

Input:

2 2
1 2 1
0 1 2
1 2 3

The transformed domain has four frequencies.

Frequency Product of transformed contributions
0 16
1 4
2 0
3 -4

Applying the inverse Walsh transform produces:

XOR value Count
0 4
1 2
2 4
3 6

which is exactly the sample output.

The trace shows the main invariant: all work is performed independently in Walsh space, where XOR convolution becomes multiplication.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time $O(2^k \cdot k + 2^k \cdot 8^2)$ Seven FWTs, one inverse FWT, and constant work per frequency
Space $O(2^k)$ Seven arrays of length $2^k$ plus the answer

Since $2^k \le 131072$, the transform cost is roughly a few million operations. The extra factor of $8^2$ is constant, so the solution comfortably fits within the limits.

x=y=z=0 All zeros Degenerate multiplicities

Edge Cases

Consider:

1 1
0 1 0
0 1 0

The only selectable number is $1$. The sign-pattern reconstruction still works because the transformed values become $\pm1$, and every exponent remains non-negative. The final answer is:

0 1

Now consider duplicated values:

1 1
2 3 4
1 1 0

The effective distribution is

$$4\delta_0 + 5\delta_1.$$

The algorithm never assumes distinct values. The counting arrays simply accumulate frequencies at the same index, so the answer remains correct.

Finally:

1 1
0 0 0
0 1 1

Every transformed coefficient becomes one of ${0,\pm0}$, and every power computation correctly evaluates to zero. The output consists entirely of zeros, which matches the fact that no valid choice exists.
