Thread: bitset class and operations???

Try the standard headers

<iostream>
<bitset>

using namespace std;

etc

So you've been instructed to use a standard class, but aren't allowed to use the standard headers? Curious. Perhaps you've mis-interpreted the question/request/assignment, and are supposed to write your own version of bitset?

If not, I'm sure there are plenty of bitset implementations around such as this one. Seems a pretty pointless excersise though.

If you are required to use the STL bitset class (as your code implies) then this should work a bit better (pun most definitely intended ):

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <bitset>

int main()
{
  std::bitset<8> bt;
  
  bt.set(0);
  std::cout<< bt.to_string() <<std::endl;

  return 0;
}

If you have to create your own bitset class (a bit silly if you ask me), then consider using std::vector<bool>

Code:

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
  std::vector<bool> bit;

  bit.resize ( 8 );
  bit[7] = 1; // Set the least signifigant bit
  
  std::copy ( bit.begin(), bit.end(), std:: ostream_iterator<bool> ( std::cout ) );
  std::cout<<std::endl;

  return 0;
}
