BitArray

 defines several constructors. You can construct a 

BitArray

 from an array of 

Boolean values using this constructor:

public BitArray(bool[ ] 

bits

)

In this case, each element of 

bits

 becomes a bit in the collection. Thus, each bit in the 

collection corresponds to an element of 

bits.

 Furthermore, the ordering of the elements of 

bits

 and the bits in the collection are the same.

You can create a 

BitArray

 from an array of bytes using this constructor:

public BitArray(byte[ ] 

bits

)

Here, the bit pattern in 

bits

 becomes the bits in the collection, with 

bits

[0] specifying the first 

8 bits, 

bits

[1] specifying the second 8 bits, and so on. In similar fashion, you can construct a
