Converts the contents of the bitset to a string. Uses zero to represent bits with value of false and one to represent bits with value of true.
The resulting string contains N characters with the first character corresponds to the last (N-1th) bit and the last character corresponding to the first bit.
| All template type arguments need to be provided because function templates cannot have default template arguments. Overloads (2-4) are provided to simplify the invocations of to_string: 4) Uses the default character type char, the default character trait std::char_traits and the default allocator std::allocator. | (until C++11) |

Contents
[edit] Parameters
| zero | - | character to use to represent false |
|---|---|---|
| one | - | character to use to represent true |
[edit] Return value
The converted string.
to_string<CharT, Traits, std::allocator<CharT>>(zero, one).
[edit] Exceptions
May throw std::bad_alloc from the std::basic_string constructor.
[edit] Notes
Since C++11, functions templates can have default template arguments. LWG issue 1113 removed the helper overloads (2-4) and added the corresponding default template arguments in (1).
[edit] Example
#include #include int main() { std::bitset<8> b{42}; std::cout << b.to_string() << '\n' << b.to_string('*') << '\n' << b.to_string('O', 'X') << '\n'; }
Output:

[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 | zero and one bits were converted to characters 0and 1 (which do not correspond to '0' and '1') | added parameters to providevalues for these characters |
| LWG 434 | C++98 | all template arguments needed to be provided | added overloads (2-4) |
| LWG 853 | C++98 | overloads (2-4) did not have the defaultarguments added by LWG issue 396 | also added |
