# Bits

This lib aims to implement binary bit flags in Haxe with unlimited amount of bits per instance.

```haxe
var flags = new bits.Bits();

flags.set(2); // set a bit at position 2 (zero-based)
flags.set(5);

flags.toString(); // "10010"

flags.isSet(2); // true
flags.areSet([2, 5]); // true;

flags.set(9999);
flags.isSet(9999); // true
```
`bits.Bits` is implemented as an abstract over `Array`. Each item of that array is used to store 32 flags.

### API

```haxe
/**
* Create a `bits.Bits` instance using values of `positions` as positions of bits, which should be set to 1.
* E.g. `[0, 2, 7]` will produce `bits.Bits` instance of `10000101`.
* If there is a negative value in `positions` the result is unspecified.
*/
@:from static public function fromPositions(positions:Array):Bits;

/**
* Create a new instance.
*
* By default the new instance allocates a memory for 32 (on most platforms) bits.
* And then grows as necessary on setting bits at positions greater than 31.
*
* @param capacity makes `bits.Bits` to pre-allocate the amount of memory required to store `capacity` bits.

/**
* Set the bit at position `pos` (zero-based) in a binary representation of `bits.BitFlags` to 1.
* It's like `bits = bits | (1 << pos)`
* E.g. if `pos` is 2 the third bit is set to 1 (`0000100`).
* If `pos` is negative the result is unspecified.
