    Defined in header <bitset> 
    template< class CharT, class Traits, std::size_t N >
std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>&
    operator<<( std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& os, const std::bitset<N>& x );
    		(1) 
    template< class CharT, class Traits, std::size_t N >
std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>&
    operator>>( std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>& is, std::bitset<N>& x );
    		(2)

    Inserts or extracts a bitset from a character stream.

    1) Writes the bitset x to the character stream os as if by first converting it to a std::basic_string<CharT, Traits> using to_string(), and then writing it into os using the operator<< (which is a FormattedOutputFunction for strings).
    The characters to use for ones and zeroes are obtained from the currently-imbued locale by calling std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(os.getloc()).widen() with '1' and '0' as arguments.
    2) Behaves as a FormattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, which may skip leading whitespace, extracts up to N characters from is and stores the characters in the bitset x.
    Characters are extracted until either
    • N characters have been read,
    • end-of-file occurs in is, or
    • the next character is neither is.widen('0') nor is.widen('1').

    If N > 0 and no characters are extracted, is.setstate(ios_base::failbit) is called.

    Parameters

    os - the character stream to write to
    is - the character stream to read from
    x - the bitset to be read or written

    Return value

    1) os
    2) is

    Example

    Run this code
    #include <bitset>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
    std::string bit_string = "001101";
    std::istringstream bit_stream(bit_string);
    
    std::bitset<3> b1;
    bit_stream >> b1; // reads "001", stream still holds "101"
    std::cout << b1 << '\n';
    
    std::bitset<8> b2;
    bit_stream >> b2; // reads "101", populates the 8-bit set as "00000101"
    std::cout << b2 << '\n';
}

    Output: 

    001
00000101

    Defect reports

    The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

    DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
    LWG 303 C++98 single-byte characters were extracted from
    is, but CharT can have multiple bytes     		extracts CharT and compares
    it with widened '0' and '1'
    LWG 396 C++98 the content written by operator<< was locale-independent writes widened '0's and '1's
    LWG 3199 C++98 extracting a std::bitset<0> always sets failbit such extraction never sets failbit
