std::bitset<N>::test

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | bitset
 
 
 
 
bool test(std::size_t pos )const;
(constexpr since C++23)

Returns the value of the bit at the position pos (counting from 0).

Unlike operator[], it performs a bounds check.

Contents

[edit]Parameters

pos - position of the bit to return (counting from 0)

[edit]Return value

true if the requested bit is set, false otherwise.

[edit]Exceptions

Throws std::out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid bit position.

[edit]Example

#include <bit>#include <bitset>#include <cassert>#include <iostream>#include <stdexcept>   int main(){std::bitset<10> b1("1111010000");   std::size_t idx =0;while(idx < b1.size()&&!b1.test(idx))++idx;   assert(static_cast<int>(idx)==std::countr_zero(b1.to_ulong()));   if(idx < b1.size())std::cout<<"The first set bit is at index "<< idx <<'\n';elsestd::cout<<"no set bits\n";   try{std::bitset<0B10'1001'1010> bad;if(bad.test(bad.size()))std::cout<<"Expect unexpected!\n";}catch(std::out_of_rangeconst& ex){std::cout<<"Exception: "<< ex.what()<<'\n';}}

Possible output:

The first set bit is at index 4 Exception: bitset::test: __position (which is 666) >= _Nb (which is 666)

[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 2250C++98 the behavior was undefined if pos does
not correspond to a valid bit position
always throws an
exception in this case
