BitString with a given length

[Koon Sang Khong]

Hello,

According to the Java API for BitString constructor below:

public BitString(int length)

Create a new bit string of a given length

It seems that the length will be fixed.  However, I realized that it is not the case.  The length will actually change when we call setBit(), as illustrated below:

        BitString bs = new BitString(1);

        bs.setBit(1, false);

        bs.setBit(5, false);

        System.out.println("size:"+bs.getBitSize());   //prints 6

Is this the intended behaviour?

Thank you.

Yes, this is intended.  If you don't set bit beyond the preset bit length, that's fine. But if you set bit beyond that, the bit string will grow.
