Brute force the solution since 2^9 = 512. Test every a & b with each of these numbers to see if they match with the number, and pick the smallest of these numbers.
Let us take this as an example: $$$ n = 4 , m = 2$$$
$$$a = [2 , 6 , 4 , 0]$$$
$$$b = [2, 4]$$$
let us build all possible $$$&$$$ using two for loops.
this will create a 2D $$$4 \times 2$$$ table:
Now let us rephrase the problem, you need to pick exactly $$$1$$$ element from each row and make the operation $$$or$$$ between them. Find the minimum $$$or$$$ value.
Here where the dp comes in. since the constraints are low, the problem is doable using DP. where the states of the dp are: curRow, curCol, curOrValue
Hope that will help you!
Anyone can help how this problem can be done by DP?
