Applying logical OR between multiple C++ Bitsets

Let’s first start by creating two Bitsets and applying the logical OR operation between them:

#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  std::bitset<8> bitset1("00001111");
  std::bitset<8> bitset2("11110000");

  std::bitset<8> result = bitset1 | bitset2;

  std::cout << "Result: " << result << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

In the above code, we have defined two Bitsets, bitset1 and bitset2, with a size of 8 bits each. We have initialized them with binary values 00001111 and 11110000 respectively. The logical OR operation (|) is performed between bitset1 and bitset2, and the result is stored in the result Bitset.

To print the result, we use std::cout and the << operator to output the value of result to the console.

When you run the code, the output will be:

Result: 11111111

As you can see, the logical OR operation between bitset1 and bitset2 combines the set bits from both Bitsets, resulting in all bits being set (11111111).

Now, let’s explore how to apply logical OR between multiple Bitsets dynamically. We can achieve this by using a loop and performing the logical OR operation iteratively:

#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main() {
  std::vector<std::bitset<8>> bitsets = {std::bitset<8>("00001111"),
                                         std::bitset<8>("11110000"),
                                         std::bitset<8>("01010101")};

  std::bitset<8> result;

  for (const std::bitset<8>& bitset : bitsets) {
    result |= bitset;
  }

  std::cout << "Result: " << result << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

In the updated code, we have defined a std::vector of Bitsets named bitsets, which contains three Bitsets initialized with different binary values. We have also defined an empty result Bitset to store the cumulative result of the logical OR operation.

Using a range-based for loop, we iterate through each Bitset in bitsets and perform the logical OR operation (|) with the result Bitset. The result is accumulated in result as we iterate through the Bitsets.

Finally, we print the result using std::cout and the << operator.

Running the updated code will give the following output:

Result: 11111111

As you can see, the logical OR operation is applied iteratively to all Bitsets in the bitsets vector, resulting in the same output as before.

In conclusion, applying logical OR between multiple C++ Bitsets is straightforward. By using the | operator, you can combine individual bits from multiple Bitsets into a final result. Whether you are performing the operation between two or multiple Bitsets, you can leverage the power and efficiency of Bitsets to manipulate bits at a granular level.
