Example

The following example shows the usage of std::bitset::to_ulong() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
#include <typeinfo>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {

   bitset<4> b("1010");;
   auto result = b.to_ulong();

   cout << "Decimal representation of " << b << " = " << result << endl;
   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Decimal representation of 1010 = 10
