    Bitsets

    Hello,

    When working with bitsets, how should I be numerically refering to each bit in the set?

    Currently im doing it as so:
    Code:
    //7654 3210 ..- bit numbering
     ....0010 0110
    Where, '7' is the 8th bit, and '0' is the first.

    Thanks in advanced... I know this isn't strictly C related but i've searched the internet to no avail.

    Just like arrays, your first bit is bit zero.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
