I'm given a string that is of binary 1's and 0's and I'm trying to make a function that is able to set the bits to the location that is specified.
If 35 represented in 100011
If I wanted to set the 3rd bit to a 1,
It would look like 100111
Similiarly to 0's as well.
I've found that my function will set it, but then it truncates the values or does something funny.
Code:int setOne(string value, int position)
{
int length = value.length();
int temp;
string t = value;
value[length-(position+1)] = '1';
temp = atoi(t.c_str());
cout << temp << "\n";
return temp;
}
