What is a bit array?

  • A. a) Data structure that compactly stores bits
  • B. b) Data structure for representing arrays of records
  • C. c) Array in which elements are not present in continuous locations
  • D. d) An array in which most of the elements have the same value
Correct Answer: A. a) Data structure that compactly stores bits
Efficiency: It's designed to efficiently store boolean values (0 or 1) by utilizing individual bits instead of entire bytes or words.

Memory savings: This approach significantly reduces memory usage compared to traditional arrays that store each element as a complete byte or larger data type.

Applications: Bit arrays are commonly used in various algorithms and data structures, such as bloom filters, bitmaps, and set representations.

Essentially, a bit array is like an array, but instead of storing elements like integers or characters, it stores individual bits.
