What is BitSet.set() in Java?
set() is an instance method of BitSet that is used to set the bit at the specified position in the BitSet object.
The four variations of the method are as follows:
set(int bitIndex)set(int bitIndex, boolean value)set(int fromIndex, int toIndex)set(int fromIndex, int toIndex, boolean value)
The set method is defined in the BitSet class. The BitSet class is defined in the java.util package. To import the BitSet class, use the following import statement.
import java.util.BitSet;
The set(int bitIndex) method
The set(int bitIndex) method is used to set the bit at the given index.
Syntax
public void set(int bitIndex)
Parameters
int bitIndex: The bit index.
Return value
This method does not return anything.
Code
import java.util.BitSet;public class Main{public static void main(String[] args) {// Create empty BitSet objectBitSet bitSet = new BitSet();// Set the index 2bitSet.set(2);// Set the index 3bitSet.set(3);// Print the BitSet objectSystem.out.println("BitSet using set(index) method = " + bitSet);}}
The set(int bitIndex, boolean value) method
The set(int bitIndex, boolean value) method is used to set the bit at the given index to the specified value.
Syntax
public void set(int bitIndex, boolean value)
Parameters
int bitIndex: The bit index.boolean value: The boolean value to set.
Return value
This method does not return anything.
Code
import java.util.BitSet;public class Main{public static void main(String[] args) {// Create empty BitSet objectBitSet bitSet = new BitSet();// Set the index 2 to value 0bitSet.set(2, false);// Set the index 3 to value 1bitSet.set(3, true);// Print the BitSet objectSystem.out.println("BitSet using set(index, value) method = " + bitSet);}}
The set(int fromIndex, int toIndex) method
The set(int fromIndex, int toIndex) method is used to set the bits from the specified fromIndex (inclusive) to the specified toIndex (exclusive) to true.
Syntax
public void set(int fromIndex, int toIndex)
Parameters
int fromIndex: The index of the first bit to set.int toIndex: The index of the last bit to set.
Return value
This method does not return anything.
Code
import java.util.BitSet;public class Main{public static void main(String[] args) {// Create empty BitSet objectBitSet bitSet = new BitSet();// Set the bits from index 2 to 5bitSet.set(2, 5);// Print the BitSet objectSystem.out.println("BitSet using set(fromIndex, toIndex) method = " + bitSet);}}
The set(int fromIndex, int toIndex, boolean value) method
The set(int fromIndex, int toIndex, boolean value) method is used to set the bits from the specified fromIndex (inclusive) to the specified toIndex (exclusive) to the specified value.
Syntax
public void set(int fromIndex, int toIndex, boolean value)
Parameters
int fromIndex: The index of the first bit to set.int toIndex: The index of the last bit to set.boolean value: The boolean value to set.
Return value
This method does not return anything.
Code
import java.util.BitSet;public class Main{public static void main(String[] args) {// Create empty BitSet objectBitSet bitSet = new BitSet();// Set the bits from index 2 to 5 to value 0bitSet.set(2, 5, false);// Set the bits from index 8 to 10 to value 1bitSet.set(8, 10, true);// Print the BitSet objectSystem.out.println("BitSet using set(fromIndex, toIndex, value) method = " + bitSet);}}
