Solution:
Define the bitwise and of two nonnegative integers x=⋯x3x2x1x0 and y=⋯y3y2y1y0 expressed in binary to be x&y=⋯z3z2z1z0, where zi=1 if both xi and yi are 1 , and 0 otherwise.
Now, we can prove that from the definitions of ∣ and & that x+y=(x∣y)+(x&y). Therefore it suffices to count pairs of sequences (c1,c2,…,c2018) and (d1,d2,…,d2018) such that ci=ai−1∣ai and di=ai−1&ai for 0≤ai<22018.
Since both ∣,& are bitwise operations, it suffices to count the number of sequences {ci} and {di} restricting each ai to {0,2k} for each k∈[0,2017] and multiply these counts together. Each sequence (a0,…,a2018) leads to a unique {ci} and {di} except for the sequences (2k,0,2k,0,…,2k) and the sequences (0,2k,0,2k,…,0), which lead to the same {ci} and {di}.
Therefore for each k, there are 22019−1 ways to determine the k-th bits of each ci and di. Multiplying this over all k gives a final count of (22019−1)2018.
