bool operator[]( std::size_t pos ) const; constexpr bool operator[]( std::size_t pos ) const;	(1)	(until C++11) (since C++11)
reference operator[]( std::size_t pos );	(2)

Accesses the bit at position pos. The first version returns the value of the bit, the second version returns an object of type std::bitset::reference that allows modification of the value.

Unlike test(), does not throw exceptions: the behavior is undefined if pos is out of bounds.

Parameters

pos

-

position of the bit to return

Return value

1) the value of the requested bit

2) an object of type std::bitset::reference, which allows writing to the requested bit.

Exceptions

None

Example

run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
 
int main()
{
    std::bitset<8> b1(42);
    for (std::size_t i = 0; i < b1.size(); ++i) {
        std::cout << "b1[" << i << "]: " << b1[i] << '\n';
    }
    b1[0] = true; // modifies the first bit through bitset::refence
    std::cout << "After setting bit 0, the bitset holds " << b1 << '\n';
}

Output:

b1[0]: 0
b1[1]: 1
b1[2]: 0
b1[3]: 1
b1[4]: 0
b1[5]: 1
b1[6]: 0
b1[7]: 0
After setting bit 0, the bitset holds 00101011
