 Bitset (source code)

= Bitset

A representation of a <finite set> of bounded <nonnegative integers> by a binary word: bit $i$ is 1 exactly when $i$ belongs to the set. Bitwise AND, OR, and XOR implement intersection, union, and symmetric difference. A large <integer> can store the whole word when the programming language provides arbitrary-precision <integers>.
