There are two variants of flip() method. This article depicts about all of them as follows:

1. flip(int value) : This method removes the value specified in the argument.

public void flip(int value)

Parameters : 
value :  the value to flip.
Return ValueThis method does not return a value.




// Java code to demonstrate the
// working of flip(int value) in Bitset
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class Flip1 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
       
  // declaring bitset
  BitSet bset = new BitSet(6);
   
  // assigning values to bset
  bset.set(0);
  bset.set(1);
  bset.set(2);
  bset.set(3);
  
  // printing the original set
  System.out.println("The original bitset is : " + bset);
   
  // using flip() to remove 2
  bset.flip(2);
       
  //  printing final bitset
  // 2 is removed
  System.out.println("The flipped bitset is : " + bset);
  }
}


Output:

The original bitset is : {0, 1, 2, 3}
The flipped bitset is : {0, 1, 3}

2. flip(int fromnum, int tonum) : This method sets each bit from the specified fromnum (inclusive) to the specified tonum (exclusive) to the complement of its current value, i.e removes fromnum to tonum-1 values.

public void flip(int fromnum,int tonum)
Parameters : 
fromnum :  start number to begin flipping.
tonum :  last-1 number to end flipping.
Return Value : 
This method does not return a value.




// Java code to demonstrate the
// working of flip(int fromnum, int tonum) in Bitset
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class Flip2 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
       
  // declaring bitset
  BitSet bset = new BitSet(6);
   
  // assigning values to bset
  bset.set(0);
  bset.set(1);
  bset.set(2);
  bset.set(3);
  
  // printing the original set
  System.out.println("The original bitset is : " + bset);
   
  // using flip(fromnum,tonum) to remove 1 and 2
  bset.flip(1,3);
       
  //  printing final bitset
  // 1 and 2 are removed
  System.out.println("The flipped bitset is : " + bset);
  }
}


Output:

The original bitset is : {0, 1, 2, 3}
The flipped bitset is : {0, 3}
