Class BitSet

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.util.BitSet
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable

public class BitSet
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

This class implements a vector of bits that grows as needed. Each component of the bit set has a boolean value. The bits of a BitSet are indexed by nonnegative integers. Individual indexed bits can be examined, set, or cleared. One BitSet may be used to modify the contents of another BitSet through logical AND, logical inclusive OR, and logical exclusive OR operations.

By default, all bits in the set initially have the value false.

Every bit set has a current size, which is the number of bits of space currently in use by the bit set. Note that the size is related to the implementation of a bit set, so it may change with implementation. The length of a bit set relates to logical length of a bit set and is defined independently of implementation.

Unless otherwise noted, passing a null parameter to any of the methods in a BitSet will result in a NullPointerException.

A BitSet is not safe for multithreaded use without external synchronization.

Since:
JDK1.0

Parameters:
set - a bit set

or

public void or(BitSet set)
Performs a logical OR of this bit set with the bit set argument. This bit set is modified so that a bit in it has the value true if and only if it either already had the value true or the corresponding bit in the bit set argument has the value true.

Parameters:
set - the BitSet with which to mask this BitSet
Since:
1.2

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this bit set. The hash code depends only on which bits are set within this BitSet.

The hash code is defined to be the result of the following calculation:

 public int hashCode() {
     long h = 1234;
     long[] words = toLongArray();
     for (int i = words.length; --i >= 0; )
         h ^= words[i] * (i + 1);
     return (int)((h >> 32) ^ h);
 }
Note that the hash code changes if the set of bits is altered.

the hash code value for this bit set
See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)

size

public int size()
Returns the number of bits of space actually in use by this BitSet to represent bit values. The maximum element in the set is the size - 1st element.

Returns:
the number of bits currently in this bit set

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Bitset object that has exactly the same set of bits set to true as this bit set. That is, for every nonnegative int index k,
((BitSet)obj).get(k) == this.get(k)
must be true. The current sizes of the two bit sets are not compared.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with
Returns:
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise
See Also:
size()

clone

public Object clone()
Cloning this BitSet produces a new BitSet that is equal to it. The clone of the bit set is another bit set that has exactly the same bits set to true as this bit set.

Overrides:
clone in class Object
Returns:
a clone of this bit set
See Also:
size()

toString

public String toString()
Returns a string representation of this bit set. For every index for which this BitSet contains a bit in the set state, the decimal representation of that index is included in the result. Such indices are listed in order from lowest to highest, separated by ", " (a comma and a space) and surrounded by braces, resulting in the usual mathematical notation for a set of integers.

Example:

 BitSet drPepper = new BitSet();
Now drPepper.toString() returns "{}".

 drPepper.set(2);
Now drPepper.toString() returns "{2}".

 drPepper.set(4);
 drPepper.set(10);
Now drPepper.toString() returns "{2, 4, 10}".

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of this bit set
