Description

Given a (0-indexed) integer array nums and two integers low and high, return the number of nice pairs.



A nice pair is a pair (i, j) where 0 <= i < j < nums.length and low <= (nums[i] XOR nums[j]) <= high.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,4,2,7], low = 2, high = 6
Output: 6
Explanation: All nice pairs (i, j) are as follows:
- (0, 1): nums[0] XOR nums[1] = 5
- (0, 2): nums[0] XOR nums[2] = 3
- (0, 3): nums[0] XOR nums[3] = 6
- (1, 2): nums[1] XOR nums[2] = 6
- (1, 3): nums[1] XOR nums[3] = 3
- (2, 3): nums[2] XOR nums[3] = 5

Example 2:

Input: nums = [9,8,4,2,1], low = 5, high = 14
Output: 8
Explanation: All nice pairs (i, j) are as follows:
​​​​​ - (0, 2): nums[0] XOR nums[2] = 13
- (0, 3): nums[0] XOR nums[3] = 11
- (0, 4): nums[0] XOR nums[4] = 8
- (1, 2): nums[1] XOR nums[2] = 12
- (1, 3): nums[1] XOR nums[3] = 10
- (1, 4): nums[1] XOR nums[4] = 9
- (2, 3): nums[2] XOR nums[3] = 6
- (2, 4): nums[2] XOR nums[4] = 5
