Helper classes

std::hash (C++11)

 

template<     class CharT,     class Traits,     class Alloc > std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator> to_string() const;		(until C++11)
template<     class CharT = char,     class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>,     class Allocator = std::allocator<CharT> > std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Allocator>     to_string(CharT zero = CharT('0'), CharT one = CharT('1')) const;		(since C++11)

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.

Parameters

zero	-	character to use to represent false
one	-	character to use to represent true

Return value

the converted string

Exceptions

May throw std::bad_alloc from the the std::string constructor.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
int main()
{
    std::bitset<8> b(42);
    std::cout << b.to_string() << '\n'
              << b.to_string('*') << '\n'
              << b.to_string('O', 'X') << '\n';
}

Output:

00101010
**1*1*1*
