Bitset help

Code:

---

#include <iostream> #include <bitset>  using namespace std;  int main() {  bitset<8> bits = 83;    cout << bits << "  ";  cout << bits.to_ulong() << endl << endl;    bits[0] = 0;    cout << bits << "  ";  cout << bits.to_ulong() << endl << endl;    bits[1] = 0;    cout << bits << "  ";  cout << bits.to_ulong() << endl << endl;    return 0; }

id like if bitset could be explained to me so I could determine the output of this program.
I understand that it converts the number into an integer?
an example using the format about would be great.

Dunno if this is the same as your other bitset question, but until you reformat your post so you don't have code on one line, nobody will care.
