byte

I have a byte array generated by a random number generator. I want to put this into the STL bitset.

Unfortunately, it looks like Bitset only supports the following constructors:

A string of 1's and 0's like "10101011"
An unsigned long. (my byte array will be longer)

The only solution I can think of now is to read the byte array bit by bit and make a string of 1's and 0's. Does anyone have a more efficient solution?

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to instantiate a 4 bit bitset based on a hex character. For instance, If I have a character with value 'F', I want to create a bitset of size 4 initialized to 1111 or if it is A, i want to initialize it to 1010. I could use a bunch of if statements like so: fn(char… >>> More
