Class BitSet

java.lang.Object
com.carrotsearch.hppc.BitSet
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

public class BitSet extends Object implements Cloneable
An "open" BitSet implementation that allows direct access to the array of words storing the bits.

Unlike java.util.bitset, the fact that bits are packed into an array of longs is part of the interface. This allows efficient implementation of other algorithms by someone other than the author. It also allows one to efficiently implement alternate serialization or interchange formats.

The index range for a bitset can easily exceed positive int range in Java (0x7fffffff), so many methods in this class accept or return a long. There are adapter methods that return views compatible with LongLookupContainer and IntLookupContainer interfaces.

    • DEFAULT_NUM_BITS

      private static final long DEFAULT_NUM_BITS
      The initial default number of bits (64L).

  • Constructor Details

    • BitSet

      public BitSet()
      Constructs a bit set with the default capacity.
    • BitSet

      public BitSet(long numBits)
      Constructs an BitSet large enough to hold numBits.
      Parameters:
      numBits - Number of bits
    • BitSet

      public BitSet(long[] bits, int numWords)
      Constructs an BitSet from an existing long[]. The first 64 bits are in long[0], with bit index 0 at the least significant bit, and bit index 63 at the most significant. Given a bit index, the word containing it is long[index/64], and it is at bit number index%64 within that word. numWords are the number of elements in the array that contain set bits (non-zero longs). numWords should be <= bits.length, and any existing words in the array at position >= numWords should be zero.
      Parameters:
      bits - underlying bits buffer
      numWords - the number of elements in the array that contain set bits
  • Method Details

      New instance.
    • iterator

      public BitSetIterator iterator()
      Returns:
      Returns an iterator over all set bits of this bitset. The iterator should be faster than using a loop around nextSetBit(int).
    • capacity

      public long capacity()
      Returns:
      Returns the current capacity in bits (1 greater than the index of the last bit).
    • size
