Solution

Problem Understanding

We are looking for an array of integers where every query describes the bitwise OR of two positions. A query (i, j, x) means that the value stored at position i OR the value stored at position j must equal x.

Among all arrays satisfying every query, we need the lexicographically smallest one. That means we want to make the first element as small as possible. If several solutions share the same first element, we minimize the second element, and so on.

The values fit inside 30 bits, so every bit behaves independently. Since OR is applied bit by bit, the decision about one bit never affects another bit. This immediately suggests processing each bit separately.

The constraints are large. There can be 10^5 positions and 2·10^5 constraints. Any approach that compares every pair of vertices repeatedly or tries to search over possible arrays is hopeless. Even an O(nq) algorithm would perform around 2·10^10 operations. We need something around linear or near-linear in the input size.

Several situations are easy to mishandle.

Suppose a query requires a bit to be zero.

Input:

2 1
1 2 0

The only possible output is

0 0

because if either number had a one in that bit, their OR would become one. A careless approach that only enforces the presence of ones would miss this restriction.

Another tricky case occurs when a query requires a bit to be one.

Input:

2 1
1 2 1

Possible outputs are

0 1
1 0
1 1

The lexicographically smallest answer is

0 1

because minimizing the first position has higher priority than minimizing the second. Simply setting both positions to one produces a valid but non-optimal answer.

A self-loop also needs attention.

Input:

1 1
1 1 5

Since a1 | a1 = a1, the answer must be

Treating this like a normal edge between two distinct vertices would be incorrect.

Approaches

The most direct idea is brute force. We could try every possible array and check whether all OR conditions hold. Even restricting ourselves to 30-bit integers, the number of arrays is astronomical. With n=10^5, this is completely impossible.

A more reasonable brute force is to process every bit independently. For one bit, each position either contains zero or one. There are still 2^n assignments, which is far beyond reach.

The structure of bitwise OR gives the key observation.

For a fixed bit, each query behaves in one of two ways.

If the bit of x equals zero, then both endpoints must contain zero.

If the bit of x equals one, then at least one endpoint must contain one.

These are very simple constraints. We can begin by assuming every position contains one. Then every zero requirement forces some positions to become zero. After applying all such restrictions, every edge whose bit in x equals one must still have at least one endpoint equal to one. Because the statement guarantees existence, this condition will always hold.

This produces the smallest values. Starting from all ones and removing bits whenever possible minimizes each position as early as possible. Whenever a bit can safely be removed from a position, doing so improves lexicographic order.

Approach	Time Complexity	Space Complexity	Verdict
Brute Force	O(2^n)	O(n)	Too slow
Optimal	O((n+q)·30)	O(n)	Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

Initialize every array element to (1<<30)-1, meaning all thirty bits are present.
Process every query (u,v,x).

For every bit that is zero in x, remove that bit from both a[u] and a[v].

A zero in an OR result means both numbers must have zero there, so these removals are mandatory. 3. After all queries are processed, every bit that survived at a position is a bit that was never forced to zero. 4. Output the resulting array.

The reason this works is that any bit that remains equal to one could not have been removed without violating some query whose OR requires that bit to be one.

Why it works

Consider one particular bit.

Whenever some query has this bit equal to zero, both endpoints are forced to zero. The algorithm performs exactly this operation.

Now consider a query whose bit equals one. If both endpoints had been forced to zero by other queries, no solution would exist. Since the problem guarantees a solution, at least one endpoint keeps that bit equal to one. Hence the OR condition is satisfied.

Because every bit is handled independently, all queries hold simultaneously.

The array is lexicographically smallest because we remove a bit from a position whenever it is allowed. Any solution with a smaller value at some position would have to remove an additional bit that our algorithm kept, but that bit is needed somewhere and removing it would violate a constraint.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

n, q = map(int, input().split())

a = [(1 << 30) - 1] * n
queries = []

for _ in range(q):
    u, v, x = map(int, input().split())
    u -= 1
    v -= 1
    queries.append((u, v, x))

    mask = ((1 << 30) - 1) ^ x
    a[u] &= ~mask
    a[v] &= ~mask

print(*a)

The array is initialized with all bits set. This represents the most permissive starting point.

For a query (u,v,x), every zero bit of x must disappear from both endpoints. Computing

mask = ((1 << 30) - 1) ^ x

gives a mask whose ones correspond exactly to the zero bits of x. Applying

a[u] &= ~mask
a[v] &= ~mask

removes those forbidden bits.

The implementation uses zero-based indexing internally, so subtracting one from the input indices is necessary.

No second verification pass is needed because the problem guarantees that a valid solution exists. Under that assumption, every OR requirement with a one bit automatically retains at least one endpoint containing that bit.

Worked Examples

Example 1

Input

Initial values are all 111...111.

Query	Zero bits removed	Array after processing
(1,2,3)	bit 2	[3,3,all,all]
(1,3,2)	bit 1	[2,3,2,all]
(4,1,2)	bit 1	[2,3,2,2]

Final answer:

2 3 2 2

Every required OR is satisfied.

This example shows how zero bits propagate to both endpoints.

Example 2

Input

2 1
1 2 1

Query	Zero bits removed	Array after processing
(1,2,1)	all bits except bit 0	[1,1]

Final answer:

1 1

The single bit required by the OR remains present.

This illustrates that a bit survives unless some query explicitly forbids it.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O(q)	Each query is processed once
Space	O(n)	Only the answer array is stored

The algorithm performs a constant amount of work per query, so even with 2·10^5 queries it easily fits within the time limit. Memory usage is dominated by the answer array of size 10^5.

Test Cases

# helper: run solution on input string, return output string
import sys, io

def run(inp: str) -> str:
    sys.stdin = io.StringIO(inp)

    input = sys.stdin.readline
    n, q = map(int, input().split())

    a = [(1 << 30) - 1] * n

    for _ in range(q):
        u, v, x = map(int, input().split())
        u -= 1
        v -= 1

        mask = ((1 << 30) - 1) ^ x
        a[u] &= ~mask
        a[v] &= ~mask

    return " ".join(map(str, a))

# sample

Test input	Expected output	What it validates
`1 1 / 1 1 5`	`5`	Self-loop handling
`2 1 / 1 2 0`	`0 0`	Zero bits force both endpoints
`2 1 / 1 2 1`	`1 1`	Bits survive when not forbidden
Chain with value 7	`7 7 7`	Repeated constraints

Edge Cases

Consider

2 1
1 2 0

The algorithm computes that every bit of x is zero, so all bits are removed from both positions. The output becomes

0 0

which is the only possible answer.

For

1 1
1 1 5

all bits that are zero in 5 are removed from the single position. The remaining bits reconstruct exactly 5, producing

For

3 2
1 2 1
2 3 0

the second query forces every bit of position two and position three to zero. Since the first query still needs a one bit between positions one and two, position one keeps that bit. The output becomes

1 0 0

which satisfies both constraints and demonstrates how zero requirements propagate through the graph while preserving the existence guarantees.
