So I have an assignment where I need to read from a file and get a string like "Four score\n" and use its bitstream of 01000110011011110111010101110010001000000111001101 10001101101111011100100110010100001010 to make an encoding that the instructor provided. I have the code to read the chars from the file into a char array, but then how do I access the bitstream in order to mask and then encode? Any help would be appreciated as I am lost on what to do! Thanks
