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 from an unsigned integer val.

Given the number of bits in the value representation of unsigned long(until C++11)unsigned long long(since C++11) as S:

  1. Constructs a bitset using the characters in 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. Traits::eq() is used to compare the character values.

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

  1. Similar to (3), but uses a const CharT* instead of a std::basic_string.
Equivalent to bitset(n == std::basic_string<CharT>::npos ? std::basic_string<CharT>(str) : std::basic_string<CharT>(str, n), 0, n, zero, one). (until C++26)
Equivalent to bitset(n == std::basic_string_view<CharT>::npos ? std::basic_string_view<CharT>(str) : std::basic_string_view<CharT>(str, n), 0, n, zero, one). (since C++26)

[edit] 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
zero - alternate character for unset bits in str
one - alternate character for set bits in str

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include   int main() { // empty constructor (1) std::bitset<8> b1; // [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]   // unsigned long long constructor (2) std::bitset<8> b2(42); // [0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0] std::bitset<70> bl(ULLONG_MAX); // [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,...,1,1,1] in C++11 std::bitset<8> bs(0xfff0); // [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0]   // string constructor (3) 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 (3) 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 (5) std::bitset<8> b7("XXXXYYYY", 8, 'X', 'Y'); // [0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1]   std::cout << "b1: " << b1 << "\nb2: " << b2 << "\nbl: " << bl << "\nbs: " << bs << "\nb3: " << b3 << "\nb4: " << b4 << "\nb5: " << b5 << "\nb6: " << b6 << "\nb7: " << b7 << '\n'; }

Possible output:

b1: 00000000 b2: 00101010 bl: 0000001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 bs: 11110000 b3: 00110010 b4: 00000010 b5: 00000001 b6: 01001101 b7: 00001111

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 396 C++98 the values of the zero and one characters for overload (3)were ​0​ and 1 (which do not correspond to '0' and '1') added parameters to providevalues for these characters
LWG 457 C++98 S was CHAR_BIT * sizeof(unsigned long)for overload (2), but unsigned long is notguaranteed to use all its bits to represent its value consider the numberof bits of the valuerepresentation instead
LWG 2250 C++98 the behavior was undefined if pos > str.size() is true always throws anexception in this case
