Manipulating BITS in C#

[HTB]

Hi,

Now, if we have a String we can manipulate its basic components
(Char). How about a Byte, are we able to manipulate its (Bits) one
by one.

I found a class Bit in Java, how about C#.


What do you think, guys !?

There are no bits in byte ;).

There is an object called a BitArray. I have only found a few uses for it though.

(Also you can have an array of boolean type, but there is no native method for them to turn into a byte I don't think)

kenobewan,

:) you're right. I thought the data type Byte is the normal byte which
consists of 8 bits. anyways...

So, can we get a byte via read() and convert it to BitArray and then
we manipulate the array one by one !!!!?

yes but a bitarray pretends they are all bools, FYI

[Plater]

What about a union of a bool[8] and a Byte ?

I now pronounce you Pieces and A Whole

Well scratch that.
There are no Unions in C#.
You can mimic them, but only down to the byte level, not the bit level
