Abstract
The last STL container type object that I cover is the bitset. I say STL type because the bitset is not strictly a container. It does not support iterators, the range-based for loops, or STL's algorithms. A bitset is used for tracking individual boolean values in a combined set. A traditional method for achieving the same result are flags implemented using bitwise operators and shifts.
