bitset& flip();
(1) (noexcept since C++11)
(constexpr since C++23)
bitset& flip( std::size_t pos );
(2) (constexpr since C++23)

Flips bits, i.e. changes true values to false and false values to true. Equivalent to a logical NOT operation on part or all of the bitset.

1) Flips all bits (like operator~, but in-place).
2) Flips the bit at the position pos.

Parameters

pos - the position of the bit to flip

Return value

*this

Exceptions

2) Throws std::out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid bit position.

Example

#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::bitset<4> flops;
    
    std::cout << flops << '\n'
              << flops.flip(0) << '\n'
              << flops.flip(2) << '\n'
              << flops.flip() << '\n';
}

Output:

0000
0001
0101
1010

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 2250 C++98 the behavior was undefined if pos does
not correspond to a valid bit position
always throws an
exception in this case
