Check if a number from every row can be selected such that xor of the numbers is greater than zero

Given a 2-D array of order N X M array elements, the task is to check if we can select a number from every row in such a way that xor of the selected numbers is greater than 0
Note: There is a minimum of 2 rows. 
Examples: 
 

Input: a[][] = {{7, 7, 7}, 
                {10, 10, 7}} 
Output: Yes

Input: a[][] = {{1, 1, 1},
                {1, 1, 1}, 
                {1, 1, 1}, 
                {1, 1, 1}} 
Output: No 

 



Approach: Initially check if xor of first column elements of every row is 0 or not. If it is non-zero then it is possible. If it is zero, check if any of the rows has two or more distinct elements, then also it is possible. If both of the above conditions are not satisfied, then it is not possible. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define N 2
#define M 3
 
// Function to check if a number from every row
// can be selected such that xor of the numbers
// is greater than zero
bool check(int mat[N][M])
{
    int xorr = 0;
 
    // Find the xor of first
    // column for every row
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        xorr ^= mat[i][0];
    }
 
    // If Xorr is 0
    if (xorr != 0)
        return true;
 
    // Traverse in the matrix
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        for (int j = 1; j < M; j++) {
 
            // Check is atleast
            // 2 distinct elements
            if (mat[i][j] != mat[i][0])
                return true;
        }
    }
 
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int mat[N][M] = { { 7, 7, 7 },
                      { 10, 10, 7 } };
 
    if (check(mat))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}

// the above approach

    static boolean check(int mat[][])
    {
        int xorr = 0;
     
        // Find the xor of first
        // column for every row
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        {
            xorr ^= mat[i] [0];
        }
     
        // If Xorr is 0
        if (xorr != 0)
            return true;
     
        // Traverse in the matrix
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)

            for (int j = 1; j < M; j++)

    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
         
        int mat[][] = {{ 7, 7, 7 },

            System.out.println("Yes");
