Function std.bitmanip.BitArray.toString

Return a string representation of this BitArray.

void toString(W) (
  ref W sink,
  scope const ref FormatSpec!char fmt
) const
if (isOutputRange!(W, char));

Two format specifiers are supported:

  • %s which prints the bits as an array, and
  • %b which prints the bits as 8-bit byte packets
  • separated with an underscore.

    Parameters

    NameDescription
    sink A char accepting output range.
    fmt A std.format.FormatSpec which controls how the data is displayed.

    Example

    import std.format : format;
    
    auto b = BitArray([0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]);
    
    auto s1 = format("%s", b);
    writeln(s1); // "[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]"
    
    auto s2 = format("%b", b);
    writeln(s2); // "00001111_00001111"
