Problem Statement

Official algorithmic problem description and constraints.

Open on Codeforces

Today, Cat and Fox found an array π‘Ž consisting of π‘› non-negative integers.

Define the loneliness of π‘Ž as the smallest positive integer π‘˜ (1β‰€π‘˜β‰€π‘›) such that for any two positive integers π‘– and π‘— (1≀𝑖,π‘—β‰€π‘›βˆ’π‘˜+1), the following holds:

π‘Žπ‘–|π‘Žπ‘–+1|…|π‘Žπ‘–+π‘˜βˆ’1=π‘Žπ‘—|π‘Žπ‘—+1|…|π‘Žπ‘—+π‘˜βˆ’1,

where π‘₯|𝑦 denotes the bitwise OR of π‘₯ and 𝑦. In other words, for every π‘˜ consecutive elements, their bitwise OR should be the same. Note that the loneliness of π‘Ž is well-defined, because for π‘˜=𝑛 the condition is satisfied.Cat and Fox want to know how lonely the array π‘Ž is. Help them calculate the loneliness of the found array.
