bitset::test() is an inbuilt function in C++ STL which tests whether the bit at a given index is set or not. 

Syntax:

bitset_name.test(index) 

Parameters: The function accepts only a single mandatory parameter index which specifies the index at which the bit is set or not. 

Return Value: The function returns a boolean value. It returns true if the bit at the given index is set else it returns false

Below programs illustrate the above function: 

Program 1: 

CPP




// CPP program to illustrate the
// bitset::test() function
// when bitset is a string
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    // Initialization of bitset
    bitset<4> b1(string("1100"));
    bitset<6> b2(string("010010"));
 
    // Function to check if 2nd index bit
    // is set or not in b1
    if (b1.test(2))
        cout << "Bit at index 2 of 1100 is set\n";
    else
        cout << "Bit at index 2 is not set\n";
 
    // Function to check if 3rd index bit
    // is set or not in b2
    if (b2.test(3))
        cout << "Bit at index 3 of 010010 is set\n";
    else
        cout << "Bit at index 3 of 010010 is not set\n";
 
    return 0;
}


Output:

Bit at index 2 of 1100 is set
Bit at index 3 of 010010 is not set

Program 2: 

CPP




// CPP program to illustrate the
// bitset::test() function
// when the bitset is a number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    // Initialization of bitset
    bitset<4> b1(5);
    bitset<6> b2(16);
 
    // Function to check if 2nd index bit
    // is set or not in b1
    if (b1.test(2))
        cout << "Bit at index 2 of 5 is set\n";
    else
        cout << "Bit at index 2 of 5 is not set\n";
 
    // Function to check if 3rd index bit
    // is set or not in b2
    if (b2.test(3))
        cout << "Bit at index 3 of 16 is set\n";
    else
        cout << "Bit at index 3 of 16 is not set\n";
 
    return 0;
}


Output:

Bit at index 2 of 5 is set
Bit at index 3 of 16 is not set
