Complex Algorithmic Challenge
Asked at Bloomberg · Coding & Leetcode-style Questions · Difficulty: Medium
Design an algorithm to solve a complex combination problem for a given input array `nums`. Calculate how many distinct combinations can select subsets containing at least one element, and the sum of the elements in all subsets must be even. Please write a function to implement the above requirements and provide test cases, ensuring the algorithm’s time complexity is preferably lower than $O(2^n)$.
