Example

#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
	using namespace std;

	// Create a bitset
	bitset<4> qBits(5);
	cout << "bitset<4> : "<< qBits << endl;

	// Output the unsigned long value
	unsigned long ulValue = qBits.to_ulong();
	cout << "The bitset value is " << ulValue << endl;

	// Keep the window open
	cin.get();
	return 0;
}
