Constructs a new bitset from one of several optional data sources:

1) Default constructor. Constructs a bitset with all bits set to zero.

2) Constructs a bitset using the bits in val. If the N is the size of the bitset and M is the number of set bits in val, then only min(N, M) bits will be included in the bitset.

3) Constructs a bitset using the characters in the std::basic_string str. An optional starting position pos and length n can be provided, as well as characters denoting alternate values for set (one) and unset (zero) bits.

The effective length of the initializing string is min(n, str.size() - pos).

If pos > str.size(), this constructor throws std::out_of_range. If any characters examined in str are not zero or one, it throws std::invalid_argument.

4) Similar to (3), but uses a CharT* instead of a std::basic_string.

Parameters

val	-	number used to initialize the bitset
str	-	string used to initialize the bitset
pos	-	a starting offset into str
n	-	number of characters to use from str
one	-	alternate character for set bits in str
zero	-	alternate character for unset bits in str

Exceptions

1. none

2. none

3. std::out_of_range if pos > str.size()

4. none

Example

Run this code

#include <bitset>
#include <string>
 
int main() 
{
    // empty constructor
    std::bitset<8> b1; // [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
 
    // unsigned long long constructor
    std::bitset<8> b2(42); // [0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0]
 
    // string constructor
    std::string bit_string = "110010";
    std::bitset<8> b3(bit_string);       // [0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0]
    std::bitset<8> b4(bit_string, 2);    // [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0]
    std::bitset<8> b5(bit_string, 2, 3); // [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1]
 
    // string constructor using custom zero/one digits
    std::string alpha_bit_string = "aBaaBBaB";
    std::bitset<8> b6(alpha_bit_string, 0, alpha_bit_string.size(),
                      'a', 'B');         // [0,1,0,0,1,1,0,1]
 
    // char* constructor using custom digits
    std::bitset<8> b7("XXXXYYYY", 8, 'X', 'Y'); // [0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1]
    return 0;
}
