public class BitSet extends Object implements Cloneable, Serializable
boolean value. The bits of a BitSet are indexed by nonnegative integers. Individual indexed bits can be examined, set, or cleared. One BitSet may be used to modify the contents of another BitSet through logical AND, logical inclusive OR, and logical exclusive OR operations. By default, all bits in the set initially have the value false.
Every bit set has a current size, which is the number of bits of space currently in use by the bit set. Note that the size is related to the implementation of a bit set, so it may change with implementation. The length of a bit set relates to logical length of a bit set and is defined independently of implementation.
Unless otherwise noted, passing a null parameter to any of the methods in a BitSet will result in a NullPointerException.
A BitSet is not safe for multithreaded use without external synchronization.

BitSet. The hash code is defined to be the result of the following calculation:
public int hashCode() { long h = 1234; long[] words = toLongArray(); for (int i = words.length; --i >= 0; ) h ^= words[i] * (i + 1); return (int)((h >> 32) ^ h); }hashCode in class ObjectObject.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)public int size()
BitSet to represent bit values. The maximum element in the set is the size - 1st element.public boolean equals(Object obj)
true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Bitset object that has exactly the same set of bits set to true as this bit set. That is, for every nonnegative int index k, ((BitSet)obj).get(k) == this.get(k)must be true. The current sizes of the two bit sets are not compared.
public Object clone()
BitSet produces a new BitSet that is equal to it. The clone of the bit set is another bit set that has exactly the same bits set to true as this bit set.public String toString()
BitSet contains a bit in the set state, the decimal representation of that index is included in the result. Such indices are listed in order from lowest to highest, separated by ", " (a comma and a space) and surrounded by braces, resulting in the usual mathematical notation for a set of integers. Example:
BitSet drPepper = new BitSet();Now
drPepper.toString() returns "{}". drPepper.set(2);Now
drPepper.toString() returns "{2}". drPepper.set(4); drPepper.set(10);Now
drPepper.toString() returns "{2, 4, 10}".public IntStream stream()
BitSet contains a bit in the set state. The indices are returned in order, from lowest to highest. The size of the stream is the number of bits in the set state, equal to the value returned by the cardinality() method. The bit set must remain constant during the execution of the terminal stream operation. Otherwise, the result of the terminal stream operation is undefined.
