The problem

Given an integer array nums, return the value of the bitwise OR of the sum of all possible subsequences in the array. A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by removing zero or more elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.

Example

Input
nums = [2,1,0,3]
Output
7
Explanation
All possible subsequence sums that we can have are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def subsequenceSumOr(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        cnt = [0] * 64
        ans = 0
        for v in nums:
            for i in range(31):
                if (v >> i) & 1:
                    cnt[i] += 1
        for i in range(63):
            if cnt[i]:
                ans |= 1 << i
            cnt[i + 1] += cnt[i] // 2
        return ans
