bits and bytes

[programk1998]

Hi I have to write a program. I have a number given in base 10 and the same number in base 2 which is separated at 8 numbers with 8 digits( as a known 1 bytes=8 bits ). And then I have to change for every 1 and 0 some character ( maybe bit mask? ) Can someone please help me?

I'm a little confused. A bit is a single 1 or 0. There's no way you can change it into a character.

If you are using values like '1', then that is not a bit. It's an ASCII character and not a bit.

Please provide more details about your program.
