# 1486. XOR Operation in an Array

<https://leetcode.com/problems/xor-operation-in-an-array>

## Description

Given an integer `n` and an integer `start`.

Define an array `nums` where `nums[i] = start + 2*i` (0-indexed) and `n == nums.length`.

Return the bitwise XOR of all elements of `nums`.

**Example 1:**

```

**Input:** n = 5, start = 0
**Output:** 8
**Explanation:** Array nums is equal to [0, 2, 4, 6, 8] where (0 ^ 2 ^ 4 ^ 6 ^ 8) = 8.
Where "^" corresponds to bitwise XOR operator.
```

**Example 2:**

```

**Input:** n = 4, start = 3
**Output:** 8
**Explanation:** Array nums is equal to [3, 5, 7, 9] where (3 ^ 5 ^ 7 ^ 9) = 8.
```

**Example 3:**

```

**Input:** n = 1, start = 7
**Output:** 7
```

**Example 4:**

```

**Input:** n = 10, start = 5
**Output:** 2
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= n <= 1000`
* `0 <= start <= 1000`
* `n == nums.length`
