std::bitset<N>::flip

< cpp‎ | utility‎ | bitset
(1)
bitset& flip();
 (until C++11)
bitset& flip() noexcept;
 (since C++11)
bitset& flip( std::size_t pos );
 (2)

Flips bits, i.e. changes true values to false and false values to true. Equivalent to a logical NOT operation on part or all of the bitset.

1) Flips all bits (like operator~, but in-place)
2) Flips the bit at the position pos.

Parameters

pos - the position of the bit to flip

Return value

*this

Exceptions

2) throws std::out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid position within the bitset.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
 
int main()
{
    std::bitset<4> b;
 
    std::cout << b << '\n';
    std::cout << b.flip(0) << '\n';
    std::cout << b.flip(2) << '\n';
    std::cout << b.flip() << '\n';
}

Output:

0000
0001
0101
1010
