#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <bitset>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  bitset<8> myset (string("10110011"));

  cout << "myset has " << int(myset.count()) << " ones ";
  cout << "and " << int(myset.size()-myset.count()) << " zeros.\n";

  return 0;
}


Output:
myset has 5 ones, and 3 zeros.
