Problem
You are 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.
Constraints: 1 <= n <= 1000. 0 <= start <= 1000.
Example 1:
Input: n = 5, start = 0
Output: 8
Explanation: Array nums is [0, 2, 4, 6, 8] where (0 ^ 2 ^ 4 ^ 6 ^ 8) = 8.
Example 2:
Input: n = 4, start = 3
Output: 8
Explanation: Array nums is [3, 5, 7, 9] where (3 ^ 5 ^ 7 ^ 9) = 8.
