# C++ Bitsets

C++ Bitsets give the programmer a set of bits as a data structure. Bitsets can be manipulated by various binary operators such as logical AND, OR, and so on.

The size of a C++ bitset is fixed at compile-time, and the size is the template parameter to the bitset. If you wanted to use a bitset whose size you can fix at runtime, you can use dynamic_bitset from the Boost library.

Constructors | create new bitsets
Operators | compare and assign bitsets
any | true if any bits are set
count | returns the number of set bits
flip | reverses the bitset
none | true if no bits are set
reset | sets bits to zero
set | sets bits
size | number of bits that the bitset can hold
test | returns the value of a given bit
to_string | string representation of the bitset
to_ulong | returns an integer representation of the bitset
