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;

Time Complexity: O(NN)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)

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 ith 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 2ans 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

// Stores the mask of the vector
int dp[size];

// Stores the current size of dp[]

            continue;

        // If dp[i] is zero
