+Problem:
+Given an array arr[] of integers, the task is to count the number of ways to split given array elements into two non-empty subsets such that the XOR of elements of each group is equal. Each element should belong to exactly one subset.
+Note:
+The answer could be very large so print it by doing modulo with 109 + 7. 
+Subsets with the same elements but derived from different indices are different.
+
+Example:
+Input : arr[] = [1, 2, 3]
+Output : 3
+Explanation: {(1),(2, 3)}, {(2),(1, 3)}, {(3),(1, 2)} are three ways with equal XOR value of two groups.
