// Bitwise Tricks :
// 1 : While using 1<<i  use (ll)1<<i  because in former one "1" is considered as int
// 2 : To flip first k-bits of a number :  x xor (2^k-1)  or x ^ (((ll)1<<k)-1)  : 2^k-1 is the largest number of k bits
// 3 : To flip k-th bit (0-based)  :  x xor (2^k)  or  x ^ ((ll)1<<k)
// 4 : To set k-th bit (0-based)   :  x or (2^k)   or  x | ((ll)1<<k)

// To prove Greedy :
// 1 : Optimal Choice at each step
