Defined in header <bitset>
template< std::size_t N >
class bitset;

The class template bitset represents a fixed-size sequence of N bits. Bitsets can be manipulated by standard logic operators and converted to and from strings and integers.

bitset meets the requirements of CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable.

Template parameters

N - the number of bits to allocate storage for

Member types

proxy class representing a reference to a bit
(class)

Member functions

constructs the bitset
(public member function)
compares the contents
(public member function)
Element access
accesses specific bit
(public member function)
accesses specific bit
(public member function)
checks if all, any or none of the bits are set to true
(public member function)
returns the number of bits set to true
(public member function)
Capacity
returns the size number of bits that the bitset can hold
(public member function)
Modifiers
performs binary AND, OR, XOR and NOT
(public member function)
performs binary shift left and shift right
(public member function)
sets bits to true or given value
(public member function)
sets bits to false
(public member function)
toggles the values of bits
(public member function)
Conversions
returns a string representation of the data
(public member function)
returns an unsigned long integer representation of the data
(public member function)
(C++11)
returns an unsigned long long integer representation of the data
(public member function)

Non-member functions

performs binary logic operations on bitsets
(function template)
performs stream input and output of bitsets
(function template)

Helper classes

hash support for std::bitset
(class template specialization)

Notes

If the size of the bitset is not known at compile time, std::vector<bool> or boost::dynamic_bitset may be used.
