You cannot do b1 << 314159, integers can't hold that value

For this questions you cannot use c++ standard int, long long int, or even unsigned long long int because integers in this question can go up to 10^5 bits long. So you must implement it yourself. Store a and b as strings, create an xor function for string representation of binary numbers, and use it on a, b. Next, notice that the summation is just the sum of a geometric sequence. The total sum is equal to ((a xor b)<<314160) — 1. After computing this value (in string representation because int cannot store this value) just compute the mod bit by bit. Sum them up and you have your answer.
