HackerEarth Xor tree problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202416 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Xor tree problem solution You are given an undirected tree with N nodes. Every node is initially assigned a value equal to 0.
 
Perform Q queries that are given on the tree as follows:
  • u v w: For all the nodes present on a simple path between nodes u and v take the xor of node value with w. 
 
Find the sum of values assigned to all the nodes after performing Q queries.
