<p>A <b>bit array</b> (also known as <b>bit map</b>, <b>bit set</b>, <b>bit string</b>, or <b>bit vector</b>) is an <a href="page.php?w=array_data_structure">array data structure</a> that compactly stores <a href="page.php?w=bit">bit</a>s. It can be used to implement a simple <a href="page.php?w=set_data_structure">set data structure</a>.
