The java.util.BitSet.toByteArray() is an inbuilt method of BitSet class that is used to produce a new byte array containing all of the bits of the existing BitSet. As per the official documentation, this process works in the following way:
if, byte[] bytes = bit_set.toByteArray();
then, bytes.length == (bit_set.length()+7)/8 and,
bit_set.get(n) == ((bytes[n/8] & (1For all n
Syntax:
Bit_Set.toByteArray()
Parameter: The method does not take any parameters.
Return value: The method returns the set consisting of ByteArray representation of the elements of the given BitSet.
Below programs illustrate the working of java.util.BitSet.toByteArray() method:
Program 1:
// Java code to illustrate toByteArray() import java.util.*;
public class BitSet_Demo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty BitSet
BitSet init_bitset = new BitSet();
// Use set() method to add elements into the Set
init_bitset.set( 10 );
init_bitset.set( 20 );
init_bitset.set( 30 );
init_bitset.set( 40 );
init_bitset.set( 50 );
// Displaying the BitSet
System.out.println( "BitSet: " + init_bitset);
byte [] arr = init_bitset.toByteArray();
System.out.println( "The byteArray is: " + arr);
// Displaying the byteArray
System.out.println( "The elements in the byteArray :" );
for ( int i = 0 ; i < arr.length; i++)
System.out.print(arr[i] + ", " );
}

BitSet: {10, 20, 30, 40, 50} The byteArray is: [B@232204a1 The elements in the byteArray : 0, 4, 16, 64, 0, 1, 4,
Program 2:
// Java code to illustrate toByteArray() import java.util.*;
public class BitSet_Demo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating an empty BitSet
BitSet init_bitset = new BitSet();
// Use set() method to add elements into the Set
init_bitset.set( 48 );
init_bitset.set( 64 );
init_bitset.set( 15 );
init_bitset.set( 95 );
init_bitset.set( 105 );
init_bitset.set( 21 );
// Displaying the BitSet
System.out.println( "BitSet: " + init_bitset);
byte [] arr = init_bitset.toByteArray();
System.out.println( "The byteArray is: " + arr);
// Displaying the byteArray
System.out.println( "The elements in the byteArray :" );
for ( int i = 0 ; i < arr.length; i++)
System.out.print(arr[i] + ", " );
}
