Performs binary AND, OR, XOR and NOT.

1) Sets the bits to the result of binary AND on corresponding pairs of bits of *this and other.
2) Sets the bits to the result of binary OR on corresponding pairs of bits of *this and other.
3) Sets the bits to the result of binary XOR on corresponding pairs of bits of *this and other.
4) Returns a temporary copy of *this with all bits flipped (binary NOT).

Note that &=, |=, and ^= are only defined for bitsets of the same size N.

Parameters

other - another bitset

Return value

1-3) *this
4) std::bitset<N>(*this).flip()

Example

#include <bitset>
#include <cstddef>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    const std::string pattern_str{"1001"};
    std::bitset<16> pattern{pattern_str}, dest;
 
    for (std::size_t i = dest.size() / pattern_str.size(); i != 0; --i)
    {
        dest <<= pattern_str.size();
        dest |= pattern;
        std::cout << dest << " (i = " << i << ")\n";
    }
 
    std::cout << ~dest << " (~dest)\n";
}

Output:

0000000000001001 (i = 4)
0000000010011001 (i = 3)
0000100110011001 (i = 2)
1001100110011001 (i = 1)
0110011001100110 (~dest)
