Decode XORed Array

Problem Statement

There is a hidden integer array arr that consists of n non-negative integers. It was encoded into another integer array encoded of length n - 1, such that encoded[i] = arr[i] XOR arr[i + 1]. For example, if arr = [1,0,2,1], then encoded = [1,2,3]. You are given the encoded array. You are also given an integer first, that is the first element of arr, i.e. arr[0]. Return the original array arr. It can be proved that the answer exists and is unique.

Examples

# Example 1

Input
encoded = [1,2,3], first = 1
Output
[1,0,2,1]

# Example 2

Input
encoded = [6,2,7,3], first = 4
Output
[4,2,0,7,4]

Constraints

2 <= n <= 10^4
encoded.length == n - 1
0 <= encoded[i] <= 10^5
0 <= first <= 10^5
