<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>



The QBitArray class provides an array of bits.
<p> 


<p> Because QBitArray is a <a href="qmemarray.html">QMemArray</a>, it uses explicit <a href="shclass.html">sharing</a> with a reference count.
<p> A QBitArray is a special byte array that can access individual
bits and perform bit-operations (AND, OR, XOR and NOT) on entire
arrays or bits.
<p> Bits can be manipulated by the <a href="#setBit">setBit</a>() and <a href="#clearBit">clearBit</a>() functions,
but it is also possible to use the indexing [] operator to test
and set individual bits. The [] operator is a little slower than
setBit() and clearBit() because some tricks are required to
implement single-bit assignments.
<p> Example:
<pre>
    QBitArray a(3);
    a.<a href="#setBit">setBit</a>( 0 );
    a.<a href="#clearBit">clearBit</a>( 1 );
    a.<a href="#setBit">setBit</a>( 2 );     // a = [1 0 1]

    QBitArray b(3);
    b[0] = 1;
    b[1] = 1;
    b[2] = 0;          // b = [1 1 0]

    QBitArray c;
    c = ~a &amp; b;        // c = [0 1 0]
    </pre>
 
<p> When a QBitArray is constructed the bits are uninitialized. Use
<a href="#fill">fill</a>() to set all the bits to 0 or 1. The array can be resized
with <a href="#resize">resize</a>() and copied with <a href="#copy">copy</a>(). Bits can be set with
setBit() and cleared with clearBit(). Bits can be toggled with
<a href="#toggleBit">toggleBit</a>(). A bit's value can be obtained with <a href="#testBit">testBit</a>() and with
<a href="#at">at</a>().
<p> QBitArray supports the &amp; (AND), | (OR), ^ (XOR) and ~ (NOT)
operators.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QBitArray"></a>QBitArray::QBitArray ()
</h3>
Constructs an empty bit array.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QBitArray-2"></a>QBitArray::QBitArray ( uint&nbsp;size )
</h3>
Constructs a bit array of <em>size</em> bits. The bits are uninitialized.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#fill">fill</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="QBitArray-3"></a>QBitArray::QBitArray ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;a )
</h3>

<p> Constructs a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a> of <em>a</em>.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="at"></a>QBitArray::at ( uint&nbsp;index ) const
</h3>

<p> Returns the value (0 or 1) of the bit at position <em>index</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#operator[]">operator[]</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clearBit"></a>QBitArray::clearBit ( uint&nbsp;index )
</h3>
Clears the bit at position <em>index</em>, i.e. sets it to 0.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setBit">setBit</a>() and <a href="#toggleBit">toggleBit</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a> <a name="copy"></a>QBitArray::copy () const
</h3>
Returns a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of the bit array.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#detach">detach</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="detach"></a>QBitArray::detach ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Detaches from shared bit array data and makes sure that this bit
array is the only one referring to the data.
<p> If multiple bit arrays share common data, this bit array
dereferences the data and gets a copy of the data. Nothing happens
if there is only a single reference.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#copy">copy</a>().

<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qmemarray.html#detach">QMemArray</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="fill"></a>QBitArray::fill ( bool&nbsp;v, int&nbsp;size = -1 )
</h3>
Fills the bit array with <em>v</em> (1's if <em>v</em> is TRUE, or 0's if <em>v</em>
is FALSE).
<p> <a href="#fill">fill</a>() resizes the bit array to <em>size</em> bits if <em>size</em> is
nonnegative.
<p> Returns FALSE if a nonnegative <em>size</em> was specified and the bit
array could not be resized; otherwise returns TRUE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#resize">resize</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-and-eq"></a>QBitArray::operator&amp;= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;a )
</h3>
Performs the AND operation between all bits in this bit array and
<em>a</em>. Returns a reference to this bit array.
<p> The result has the length of the longest of the two bit arrays,
with any missing bits (i.e. if one array is shorter than the
other), taken to be 0.
<pre>
    QBitArray a( 3 ), b( 2 );
    a[0] = 1;  a[1] = 0;  a[2] = 1;     // a = [1 0 1]
    b[0] = 1;  b[1] = 0;                // b = [1 0]
    a &amp;= b;                             // a = [1 0 0]
    </pre>
 
<p> <p>See also <a href="#operator|-eq">operator|=</a>(), <a href="#operator^-eq">operator^=</a>(), and <a href="#operator~">operator~</a>().

<p> Assigns a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a> of <em>a</em> to this bit array and returns a
reference to this array.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qbitval.html">QBitVal</a> <a name="operator[]"></a>QBitArray::operator[] ( int&nbsp;index )
</h3>

<p> Implements the [] operator for bit arrays.
<p> The returned <a href="qbitval.html">QBitVal</a> is a context object. It makes it possible to
get and set a single bit value by its <em>index</em> position.
<p> Example:
<pre>
    QBitArray a( 3 );
    a[0] = 0;
    a[1] = 1;
    a[2] = a[0] ^ a[1];
    </pre>
 
<p> The functions <a href="#testBit">testBit</a>(), <a href="#setBit">setBit</a>() and <a href="#clearBit">clearBit</a>() are faster.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#at">at</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator[]-2"></a>QBitArray::operator[] ( int&nbsp;index ) const
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Implements the [] operator for constant bit arrays.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator^-eq"></a>QBitArray::operator^= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;a )
</h3>

<h3 class=fn><a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-gt-gt"></a>operator&gt;&gt; ( <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;s, <a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;a )
</h3>

<p> Reads a bit array into <em>a</em> from stream <em>s</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a> <a name="operator^"></a>operator^ ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;a1, const&nbsp;<a href="qbitarray.html">QBitArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;a2 )
</h3>

<p> Returns the XOR result between the bit arrays <em>a1</em> and <em>a2</em>.
<p> The result has the length of the longest of the two bit arrays,
with any missing bits (i.e. if one array is shorter than the
other), taken to be 0.
