Does C have a #include<bitset> similar to C++ ? I have been looking for the past week. I can't find a equivalent directive preprocessor!

3No, there is no *standard* header for this. – Eugene Sh. Aug 21 '20 at 20:16

8That would be hard to do considering C doesn't have templates. – NathanOliver Aug 21 '20 at 20:16

Probably the closest thing in C is the built-in bitwise operators (eg bool isThirdBitSet = ((someVal & (1<<2)) != 0); ) – Jeremy Friesner Aug 21 '20 at 20:18

There are some third-party header-only libraries you can find on GitHub, I am not aware of any standard headers. – Mansoor Aug 21 '20 at 20:19

No, it does not. There are, however, ways to implement what you are looking for (or at least some sort of approximation). Take look at: http://c-faq.com/misc/bitsets.html - I think it is going to be useful.
