// 1442. Count Triplets That Can Form Two Arrays of Equal XOR
#include "leetcode.h"

/*
 * given an array of integers 'arr'. we want to select three indices 'i', 'j',
 * and 'k' where '(0 <= i < j <= k < arr.length)'. lets define 'a' and 'b' as
 * follows. 'a = arr[i] ^ arr[i + 1] ^ ... ^ arr[j - 1]', 'b = arr[j] ^ arr[j +
 * 1] ^ ... ^ arr[k]'. note that '^' denotes the bitwise xor operation. return
 * the number of triplets (i, j, and k) where 'a == b'
