How is the result computed? Does an element needs to pass all of the filters or any one of them?

Result needs to be passed as an list of all the filters. In best case, one filter would cover all elements. Otherwise, we need to get the optimum number of filters to do the same.

I'm not too sure I understood what the question was completely but here is the code that I wrote:

public class testint {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] test = args;
        
        function("1xxx","1000",test);
        //System.out.println(args);
    }

    public static void function(String ID, String mask,String[] str)
    {
    	char[] idnotx = new char[ID.length()];
    	char[] masknot0 = new char [mask.length()];
    	char idval = 'x';
    	char maskval = 'x';
    	idnotx = ID.toCharArray();
    	masknot0=mask.toCharArray();
    	int pos = -1;
    	int pos0 = -1;
    	for(int i = 0;i<ID.length(); i++)
    	{
    		if(idnotx[i] != 'x')
    		{
    			pos = i;
    			idval = idnotx[i];
    		}
    	}
    	
    	for(int i=0;i<mask.length();i++)
    	{
    		if(masknot0[i] != '0')
    		{
    			pos0 = i;
    			maskval = masknot0[i];
    		}
    	}
    	
    	for(int i = 0; i<str.length; i++)
    	{
    		char[] temp = new char[str[i].length()];
    		temp = str[i].toCharArray();
    		if(temp[pos0] == idval)
    			System.out.println(str[i]);
    	}
    	//System.out.println(pos);
    	//System.out.println(pos0);
    	//System.out.println(idval);
    	//System.out.println(maskval);
    	//System.out.println(str.length);
    	
    }

}

Here are the results:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>javac testint.java

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>java testint 1001 0101 1100 0011 1111 0000 0001

1001
1100
1111
