Finding the complement of a C++ Bitset

To find the complement of a C++ bitset, follow these steps:

  1. Start by including the <bitset> library:
#include <bitset>
  1. Declare a bitset object and initialize it with the desired binary value. For example, let’s create a 4-bit bitset with an initial value of 1100:
std::bitset<4> myBitset("1100");
  1. To find the complement of the bitset, you can simply use the bitwise NOT operator (~). Apply this operator to the bitset object:
std::bitset<4> complement = ~myBitset;
  1. Finally, you can convert the complement bitset back to a string representation using the to_string() method:
std::string complementStr = complement.to_string();

Now, complementStr will contain the complement of the original bitset, in this case: 0011.

Here is the complete code snippet:

#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::bitset<4> myBitset("1100");
    std::bitset<4> complement = ~myBitset;
    std::string complementStr = complement.to_string();

    std::cout << "Original Bitset: " << myBitset << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Complement Bitset: " << complementStr << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

By following the aforementioned steps, you can easily find the complement of a bitset in C++. This operation can be useful in various scenarios, especially when dealing with bit manipulation and bitwise operations.
