`bitset` class

Raksts
06/16/2022

Describes a type of object that stores a sequence consisting of a fixed number of bits that provide a compact way of keeping flags for a set of items or conditions. The bitset class supports operations on objects of type bitset that contain a collection of bits and provide constant-time access to each bit.

Syntax

template <size_t N>
class bitset

Parameters

N
Specifies the number of bits in the bitset object with a nonzero integer of type size_t that must be known at compile time.

Remarks

Unlike the similar vector<bool> Class, the bitset class doesn't have iterators and isn't a C++ Standard Library container. It also differs from vector<bool> by being of some specific size that is fixed at compile time in accordance with the size specified by the template parameter N when the bitset<N> is declared.

A bit is set if its value is 1 and reset if its value is 0. To flip or invert a bit is to change its value from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. The N bits in a bitset are indexed by integer values from 0 to N - 1, where 0 indexes the first bit position and N - 1 the final bit position.

`all`

Tests all of the bits in this bitset to determine if they're all set to true.

bool all() const;

Return Value

Returns true if all bits in this set are true. Returns false if one or more bits are false.

`any`

Tests whether any bit in the sequence is set to 1.

bool any() const;

Return Value

true if any bit in this bitset are set to 1; false if all the bits are 0.

Example

// bitset_any.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   bitset<5> b1 ( 6 );
   bool b, rb;

   cout << "The original bitset b1( 6 ) is: ( "<< b1 << " )"
        << endl;

   b = b1.any ( );

   if ( b )
      cout << "At least one of the bits in bitset is set to 1."
           << endl;
   else
      cout << "None of the bits in bitset are set to 1."
           << endl;

   bitset<5> rb1;
   rb1 = b1.reset ( );

   cout << "The reset bitset is: ( "<< b1 << " )"
        << endl;

   rb = rb1.any ( );

   if ( rb )
      cout << "At least one of the bits in the reset bitset "
           << "are set to 1." << endl;
   else
      cout << "None of the bits in bitset b1 are set to 1."
           << endl;
}

The original bitset b1( 6 ) is: ( 00110 )
At least one of the bits in bitset is set to 1.
The reset bitset is: ( 00000 )
None of the bits in bitset b1 are set to 1.

`bitset`

Constructs an object of class bitset<N> and initializes the bits to zero, or to some specified value, or to values obtained from characters in a string.

1) constexpr bitset();
2) bitset(unsigned long val);
3) constexpr bitset(unsigned long long val);
4) template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
    explicit bitset(
        const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& str,
        typename basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>::size_type pos = 0);
    
5) template <class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
    explicit bitset(
        const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& str,
        typename basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>::size_type pos,
        typename basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>::size_type count,
        CharType Zero = CharType ('0'),
        CharType One = CharType ('1'));
    
6) template<class CharType>
    explicit bitset(
        const CharType* str,
        typename basic_string<CharType>::size_type
        n = basic_string<CharType>::npos,
        CharType zero = CharType('0'),
        CharType one = CharType('1'));

Parameters

val
The unsigned integer whose base two representation is used to initialize the bits in the bitset being constructed.

str
The string of zeros and ones used to initialize the bitset bit values.

pos
The position of the character in the string, counting from left to right and starting with zero, used to initialize the first bit in the bitset.

count
The number of characters in the string that is used to provide initial values for the bits in the bitset.

Zero
The character that is used to represent a zero. The default is '0'.

One
The character that is used to represent a one. The default is '1'.

Remarks

1) Constructs an object of class bitset<N> and initializes all N bits to a default value of zero.

2-3) Constructs an object of class bitset<N> and initializes the bits from the val parameter.

4) Constructs an object of class bitset<N> and initializes bits from the characters provided in a string of zeros and ones. If any characters of the string are other than 0 or 1, the constructor throws an object of class invalid argument. If the position specified (pos) is beyond the length of the string, then the constructor throws an object of class out_of_range. The constructor sets only those bits at position j in the bitset for which the character in the string at position pos + j is 1. By default, pos is 0.

5) Similar to 4) but includes another parameter, count, that specifies the number of bits to initialize. It has two optional parameters, _Zero and _One, which indicate what character in str should be interpreted to mean a 0 bit and a 1 bit, respectively.

6) Constructs an object of class bitset<N>, initializing the N bits to values that correspond to the characters provided in a C-style character string of zeros and ones. You call the constructor without casting the string into a string type, for example: bitset<5> b5("01011");

Example

// bitset_bitset.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )

   bitset<5> b1 ( 6 );
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset<5> b1( 6 ) is: ( "
        << b1 << " )." << endl;

   // The template parameter N can be an expression
   bitset< 2 * sizeof ( int ) > b2;
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset< 2 * sizeof ( int ) > b2 is: ( "
        << b2 << " )." << endl;

   // The base two representation will be truncated
   // if its length exceeds the size of the bitset
   bitset<3> b3 ( 6 );
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset<3> b3( 6 ) is ( "
        << b3 << " )." << endl;

   // Using a c-style string to initialize the bitset
    bitset<7> b3andahalf ( "1001001" );
    cout << "The set of bits in bitset<7> b3andahalf ( \"1001001\" )"
         << " is ( " << b3andahalf << " )." << endl;

   // Using the fifth member function with the first parameter
   string bitval4 ( "10011" );
   bitset<5> b4 ( bitval4 );
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset<5> b4( bitval4 ) is ( "
        << b4 << " )." << endl;

   // Only part of the string may be used for initialization

   // Starting at position 3 for a length of 6 (100110)
   string bitval5 ("11110011011");
   bitset<6> b5 ( bitval5, 3, 6 );
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset<11> b5( bitval, 3, 6 ) is ( "
        << b5 << " )." << endl;

   // The bits not initialized with part of the string
   // will default to zero
   bitset<11> b6 ( bitval5, 3, 5 );
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset<11> b6( bitval5, 3, 5 ) is ( "
        << b6 << " )." << endl;

   // Starting at position 2 and continue to the end of the string
   bitset<9> b7 ( bitval5, 2 );
   cout << "The set of bits in bitset<9> b7( bitval, 2 ) is ( "
        << b7 << " )." << endl;
}

The set of bits in bitset<2> b0 is: ( 00 ).

Example

// bitset_op_bitwise.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

   cout << endl;

   b1 &= b2;
   cout << "After bitwise AND combination,\n"
        << "the target bitset b1 becomes:   ( "<< b1 << " )."
        << endl;

   // Note that the parameter-specified bitset is unchanged
   cout << "The parameter bitset b2 remains: ( "<< b2 << " )."
        << endl;

   // The following would cause an error because the bisets
   // must be of the same size to be combined
   // b1 &= b3;

Remarks

The member operator function returns bitset(*this) <<= pos where <<= shifts the bits in a bitset to the left a specified number of positions and returns the result to the targeted bitset.

Example

// bitset_op_LS.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>

Parameters

pos
The number of positions to the left the bits in the bitset are to be shifted.

Return Value

The targeted bitset modified so that the bits have been shifted to the left the required number of positions.

Remarks

If no element exists to shift into the position, the function clears the bit to a value of 0.

Example

// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   bitset<5> b1 ( 7 );
   cout << "The bitset b1 is: ( "<< b1 << " )." << endl;

   bitset<5> b2;
   b2 = b1 << 2;

   cout << "After shifting the bits 2 positions to the left,\n"
        << "the bitset b2 is: ( "<< b2 << " )."
        << endl;
   bitset<5> b3 = b2 >> 1;

   cout << "After shifting the bits 1 position to the right,\n"
        << "the bitset b3 is: ( " << b3 << " )."
        << endl;
}

The bitset b1 is: ( 00111 ).
After shifting the bits 2 positions to the left,
the bitset b2 is: ( 11100 ).
After shifting the bits 1 position to the right,
the bitset b3 is: ( 01110 ).

`operator>>=`

Shifts the bits in a bitset to the right a specified number of positions and returns the result to the targeted bitset.

bitset<N>& operator>>=(size_t pos);

Parameters

pos
The number of positions to the right the bits in the bitset are to be shifted.

Return Value

The targeted bitset modified so that the bits have been shifted to the right the required number of positions.

Remarks

If no element exists to shift into the position, the function clears the bit to a value of 0.

Example

// bitset_op_RSE.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   bitset<5> b1 ( 28 );
   cout << "The target bitset b1 is: ( "<< b1 << " )." << endl;

   b1 >>= 2;
   cout << "After shifting the bits 2 positions to the right,\n"
        << "the target bitset b1 becomes: ( "<< b1 << " )."
        << endl;
}

The target bitset b1 is: ( 11100 ).
After shifting the bits 2 positions to the right,
the target bitset b1 becomes: ( 00111 ).

`operator[]`

Returns a reference to a bit at a specified position in a bitset if the bitset is modifiable; otherwise, it returns the value of the bit at that position.

bool operator[](size_t pos) const;
reference operator[](size_t pos);

Parameters

pos
The position locating the bit within the bitset.

Remarks

When you define _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL as 1 or 2 in your build, a runtime error will occur in your executable if you attempt to access an element outside the bounds of the bitset. For more information, see Checked Iterators.

Example

// bitset_op_REF.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   bool b;
   bitset<5> b1 ( 6 );
   cout << "The initialized bitset<5> b1( 2 ) is: ( "<< b1 << " )."
        << endl;

   int i;
   for ( i = 0 ; i <= 4 ; i++ )
   {
      b = b1[ i ];
      cout << "  The bit in position "
           << i << " is " << b << ".\n";
   }
}

`operator^=`

Does a bitwise combination of bitsets with the bitwise "xor" (^) operation.

bitset<N>& operator^=(const bitset<N>& right);

Parameters

right
The bitset that is to be combined bitwise with the target bitset.

Return Value

The modified target bitset that results from the bitwise "xor" (^) operation with the bitset specified as a parameter.

Remarks

Two bits combined by the bitwise "xor" operator (^) return true if at least one, but not both, of the bits are true; otherwise, their combination returns false.

Bitsets must be the same size.

Example

// bitset_op_bitwiseOR.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   bitset<5> b1 ( 7 );
   bitset<5> b2 ( 11 );
   bitset<4> b3 ( 7 );

   cout << "The target bitset b1 is:    ( "<< b1 << " )." << endl;
   cout << "The parameter bitset b2 is: ( "<< b2 << " )." << endl;
   cout << endl;

   b1 ^= b2;
   cout << "After bitwise exclusive OR combination,\n"
        << "the target bitset b1 becomes:   ( "<< b1 << " )."
        << endl;

   // Note that the parameter-specified bitset in unchanged
   cout << "The parameter bitset b2 remains: ( "<< b2 << " )."
        << endl;

   // The following would cause an error because the bitsets
   // must be of the same size to be combined
   // b1 |= b3;
}

The target bitset b1 is:    ( 00111 ).
The parameter bitset b2 is: ( 01011 ).

After bitwise exclusive OR combination,
the target bitset b1 becomes:   ( 01100 ).
The parameter bitset b2 remains: ( 01011 ).

Combines two bitsets using the bitwise "or" (|) operation.

bitset<N>& operator|=(const bitset<N>& right);

Parameters

right
The bitset that is to be combined bitwise with the target bitset.

Return Value

The modified target bitset that results from the bitwise "or" (|) operation with the bitset specified as a parameter.

Remarks

Two bits combined by the inclusive OR operator return true if at least one of the bits is true; if both bits are false, their combination returns false.

Bitsets must be the same size.

Example

// bitset_op_BIO.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   bitset<5> b1 ( 7 );
   bitset<5> b2 ( 11 );
   bitset<4> b3 ( 7 );

   cout << "The target bitset b1 is:    ( "<< b1 << " )." << endl;
   cout << "The parameter bitset b2 is: ( "<< b2 << " )." << endl;
   cout << endl;

   b1 |= b2;
   cout << "After bitwise inclusive OR combination,\n"
        << "the target bitset b1 becomes:   ( "<< b1 << " )."
        << endl;

   // Note that the parameter-specified bitset in unchanged
   cout << "The parameter bitset b2 remains: ( "<< b2 << " )."
        << endl;

   // The following would cause an error because the bisets
   // must be of the same size to be combined
   // b1 |= b3;
}

The target bitset b1 is:    ( 00111 ).
The parameter bitset b2 is: ( 01011 ).

After bitwise inclusive OR combination,
the target bitset b1 becomes:   ( 01111 ).
The parameter bitset b2 remains: ( 01011 ).

`operator~`

Example

// bitset_op_invert.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <bitset>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   bitset<5> b1 ( 7 );
   bitset<5> b2;
   b2 = ~b1;

   cout << "Bitset b1 is: ( "<< b1 << " )." << endl;
   cout << "Bitset b2 = ~b1 is: ( "<< b2 << " )." << endl;

   // These bits could also be flipped using the flip member function
   bitset<5> b3;
   b3 = b1.flip( );
   cout << "Bitset b3 = b1.flip( ) is: ( "<< b2 << " )." << endl;
}

Bitset b1 is: ( 00111 ).
Bitset b2 = ~b1 is: ( 11000 ).
Bitset b3 = b1.flip( ) is: ( 11000 ).

`reference`

A proxy class that provides references to bits contained in a bitset that is used to access and manipulate the individual bits as a helper class for the operator[] of class bitset.

class reference {
   friend class bitset<N>;
public:
   reference& operator=(bool val);
   reference& operator=(const reference& bitref);
   bool operator~() const;
   operator bool() const;
   reference& flip();
};

Parameters

val
The value of the object of type bool to be assigned to a bit in a bitset.

bitref
A reference of the form x [ i ] to the bit at position i in bitset x.

Return Value

A reference to the bit in the bitset specified by the argument position for the first, second, and fifth member functions of class reference, and true or false, to reflect the value of the modified bit in the bitset for the third and fourth member functions of class reference.

Remarks

The class reference exists only as a helper class for the bitset operator[]. The member class describes an object that can access an individual bit within a bitset. Let b be an object of type bool, x and y objects of type bitset<N>, and i and j valid positions within such an object. The notation x [i] references the bit at position i in bitset x. The member functions of class reference provide, in order, the following operations:

Operation	Definition
`x`[`i`] = `b`	Stores `bool` value `b` at bit position `i` in bitset `x`.
`x`[`i`] = `y`[`j`]	Stores the value of the bit `y`[ `j`] at bit position `i` in bitset `x`.
`b` = ~ `x`[`i`]	Stores the flipped value of the bit `x`[ `i`] in `bool` `b`.
`b` = `x`[`i`]	Stores the value of the bit `x`[ `i`] in `bool` `b`.
`x`[`i`]. `flip`( )	Stores the flipped value of the bit `x`[ `i`] back at bit position `i` in `x`.

   cout << "The initialized bitset<5> b2( 6 ) is: ( "<< b2 << " )."
        << endl;

   // Example of x [i] = b storing bool b at bit position i
   // in bitset x
   b1[ 0 ] = true;
   cout << "The bitset<5> b1 with the bit at position 0 set to 1"
        << "is: ( "<< b1 << " )" << endl;

   // Example of x [i] = y [j] storing the bool value of the
   // bit at position j in bitset y at bit position i in bitset x
   b2 [4] = b1 [0];      // b1 [0] = true
   cout << "The bitset<5> b2 with the bit at position 4 set to the "
        << "value\nof the bit at position 0 of the bit in "
        << "bitset<5> b1 is: ( "<<  b2  << " )" << endl;

   // Example of b = ~x [i] flipping the value of the bit at
   // position i of bitset x and storing the value in an
   // object b of type bool
   bool b = ~b2 [4];      // b2 [4] = false
   if ( b )
      cout << "The value of the object b = ~b2 [4] "
           << "of type bool is true." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The value of the object b = ~b2 [4] "
           << "of type bool is false." << endl;

   // Example of b = x [i] storing the value of the bit at
   // position i of bitset x in the object b of type bool
   b = b2 [4];
   if ( b )
      cout << "The value of the object b = b2 [4] "
           << "of type bool is true." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The value of the object b = b2 [4] "
           << "of type bool is false." << endl;

   // Example of x [i] . flip ( ) toggling the value of the bit at
   // position i of bitset x
   cout << "Before flipping the value of the bit at position 4 in "
        << "bitset b2,\nit is ( "<<  b2  << " )." << endl;
   b2 [4].flip( );
   cout << "After flipping the value of the bit at position 4 in "
        << "bitset b2,\nit becomes ( "<<  b2  << " )." << endl;

it becomes ( 00110 ).
After a second flip, the value of the position 4 bit in b2 is now: 1.
