(4) (since C++11)

Constructs a new bitset from one of several optional data sources:

1) Default constructor. Constructs a bitset with all bits set to zero.
2) Constructs a bitset, initializing the first (rightmost, least significant) M bit positions to the corresponding bit values of val, where M is the smaller of the number of bits in an unsigned long long and the number of bits N in the bitset being constructed. If M is less than N (the bitset is longer than 32 (until C++11) 64 (since C++11) bits, for typical implementations of unsigned long (since C++11)long), the remaining bit positions are initialized to zeroes.
3) Constructs a bitset using the characters in the std::basic_string str. An optional starting position pos and length n can be provided, as well as characters denoting alternate values for set ( one) and unset ( zero) bits. Traits::eq() is used to compare the character values.
The effective length of the initializing string is min( n, str.size() - pos).
If pos > str.size(), this constructor throws std::out_of_range. If any characters examined in str are not zero or one, it throws std::invalid_argument.
4) Similar to (3), but uses a CharT* instead of a std::basic_string. Equivalent to bitset(n == basic_string<CharT>::npos ? basic_string<CharT>(str) : basic_string<CharT>(str, n), 0, n, zero, one)

Parameters

val - number used to initialize the bitset
str - string used to initialize the bitset
pos - a starting offset into str
n - number of characters to use from str
one - alternate character for set bits in str
zero - alternate character for unset bits in str

Exceptions

3) std::out_of_range if pos > str.size(), std::invalid_argument if any character is not one or zero
4) std::invalid_argument if any character is not one or zero

Example

#include <bitset>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <climits>
 
int main() 
{
    // empty constructor
    std::bitset<8> b1; // [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
 
    // unsigned long long constructor
    std::bitset<8> b2(42);          // [0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0]
    std::bitset<70> bl(ULLONG_MAX); // [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,...,1,1,1] in C++11
    std::bitset<8> bs(0xfff0);      // [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0]
 
    // string constructor
    std::string bit_string = "110010";
    std::bitset<8> b3(bit_string);       // [0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0]
    std::bitset<8> b4(bit_string, 2);    // [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0]
    std::bitset<8> b5(bit_string, 2, 3); // [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1]
 
    // string constructor using custom zero/one digits
    std::string alpha_bit_string = "aBaaBBaB";
    std::bitset<8> b6(alpha_bit_string, 0, alpha_bit_string.size(),
                      'a', 'B');         // [0,1,0,0,1,1,0,1]
 
    // char* constructor using custom digits
    std::bitset<8> b7("XXXXYYYY", 8, 'X', 'Y'); // [0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1]
 
    std::cout <<   "b1: " << b1 << "\nb2: " << b2 << "\nbl: " << bl
              << "\nbs: " << bs << "\nb3: " << b3 << "\nb4: " << b4
              << "\nb5: " << b5 << "\nb6: " << b6 << "\nb7: " << b7 << '\n';
}

Possible output:

b1: 00000000
b2: 00101010
bl: 0000001111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
bs: 11110000
b3: 00110010
b4: 00000010
b5: 00000001
b6: 01001101
b7: 00001111
