This is an assignment for a class. were just learing about bitmaps and bitwise functions and i feel like im falling behind.... and apparently i am if i cant even explain the assignment correctly.. sorry...

To be honnest im not entirely sure... i know i hate when people ask a question but don't know what they really are asking and im doing just that!! sorry.... but the idea is to open the file of the 8,000,000 phone numbers and assign them to an array (i think of ints---> later converted to bytes)

im supposed to define a bitmap as an array of 1,000,000 bytes (that is, the type byte). Each bit in the array of one million bytes will...

I have to write a program to demonstrate using bitmaps and bitwise operators to sort and remove duplicates
from a file of random phone numbers. a lot of them...

im not new to programming and i want to really understand this so i was wondering i put up my code could i get some constuctive feed back about what might be wrong or missing from my approach. what i really dont want is the entire code just fed to me.. so in a lil while...
