HackerEarth Xoring in Base 10 problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth XORing in Base 10 problem solution we have given two numbers A = (A0A1…An) and B = (B0B1…Bn) in base 10, we define the xor of A and B as A . B = (X0X1…Xn), where Xi = (Ai + Bi) mod 10.
Little Achraf has an array S of integers in base 10 and he was asked by his professor Toman to find the maximum number he can get by XORing exactly k numbers.
