Solution: Longest Subarray With Maximum Bitwise AND

Understand how to identify the longest subarray where the bitwise AND of all elements equals the maximum possible value. This lesson helps you grasp the optimization of bitwise operations by focusing on the largest element and counting its contiguous occurrences. You will learn an O(n) efficient method to solve this problem without computing AND for all subarrays.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an integer list, nums, find the length of the longest subarrayA subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within the array. where the bitwise AND of its elements equals the maximum possible bitwise AND among all subarrays of nums. The bitwise AND of a list is calculated by performing the bitwise AND operation on all elements within the subarray.

Constraints:

  • ...
