Count distinct possible Bitwise XOR values of subsets of an array

Last Updated : 28 Feb, 2022

Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers, the task is to find the size of the set S such that Bitwise XOR of any subset of the array arr[] exists in the set S.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Output: 8
Explanation:
All possible Bitwise XOR values of subsets of the array arr[] are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.
Therefore, the size of the required set is 8.

Input: arr[] = {6}
Output: 1

Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to generate all possible non-empty subsets of the given array arr[] and store the Bitwise XOR of all subsets in a set. After generating all the subsets, print the size of the set obtained as the result.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Stores the Bitwise XOR
// of every possible subset
unordered_set<int> s;
 
// Function to generate all
// combinations of subsets and
// store their Bitwise XOR in set S
void countXOR(int arr[], int comb[],
              int start, int end,
              int index, int r)
{
    // If the end of the
    // subset is reached
    if (index == r) {
 
        // Stores the Bitwise XOR
        // of the current subset
        int new_xor = 0;
 
        // Iterate comb[] to find XOR
        for (int j = 0; j < r; j++) {
            new_xor ^= comb[j];
        }
 
        // Insert the Bitwise
        // XOR of R elements
        s.insert(new_xor);
        return;
    }
 
    // Otherwise, iterate to
    // generate all possible subsets
    for (int i = start;
         i <= end && end - i + 1 >= r - index; i++) {
        comb[index] = arr[i];
 
        // Recursive call for next index
        countXOR(arr, comb, i + 1, end,
                 index + 1, r);
    }
}
 
// Function to find the size of the
// set having Bitwise XOR of all the
// subsets of the given array
void maxSizeSet(int arr[], int N)
{
    // Iterate over the given array
    for (int r = 2; r <= N; r++) {
        int comb[r + 1];
 
        // Generate all possible subsets
        countXOR(arr, comb, 0, N - 1,
                 0, r);
    }
 
    // Print the size of the set
    cout << s.size() << endl;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    // Function Call
    maxSizeSet(arr, N);
 
    return 0;
}

Efficient approach: The above approach can be optimized by using the Greedy Approach and Gaussian Elimination. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Initialize an auxiliary array, say dp[] of size 20, that stores the mask of each array element and initializes it with 0.
Initialize a variable, say ans as 0, to store the size of the array dp[].
Traverse the given array arr[] and for each array element arr[], perform the following steps:
- Initialize a variable, say mask as arr[i], to check the position of the most significant set bit.
- If the i^th bit from the right of arr[i] is set and dp[i] is 0, then update the array dp[i] as 2ⁱ and increment the value of ans by 1 and break out of the loop.
- Otherwise, update the value of the mask as the Bitwise XOR of the mask and dp[i].
After completing the above steps, print the value of 2^ans as the resultant size of the required set of elements.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int const size = 20;
 
// Stores the mask of the vector
int dp[size];
 
// Stores the current size of dp[]
int ans;
 
// Function to store the
// mask of given integer
void insertVector(int mask)
{
    // Iterate over the range [0, 20]
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
 
        // If i-th bit 0
        if ((mask & 1 << i) == 0)
            continue;
 
        // If dp[i] is zero
        if (!dp[i]) {
 
            // Store the position in dp
            dp[i] = mask;
 
            // Increment the answer
            ++ans;
 
            // Return from the loop
            return;
        }
 
        // mask = mask XOR dp[i]
        mask ^= dp[i];
    }
}
 
// Function to find the size of the
// set having Bitwise XOR of all the
// subset of the given array
void maxSizeSet(int arr[], int N)
{
    // Traverse the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        insertVector(arr[i]);
    }
 
    // Print the answer
    cout << (1 << ans) << endl;
}
 
// Driver Code

{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
