Question

I have a BitArray with the length of 8, and I need a function to convert it to a byte. How to do it?

Specifically, I need a correct function of ConvertToByte:

BitArray bit = new BitArray(new bool[] {     false, false, false, false,     false, false, false, true });  //How to write ConvertToByte byte myByte = ConvertToByte(bit); var recoveredBit = new BitArray(new[] { myByte }); Assert.AreEqual(bit, recoveredBit); 

Answer 1

This should work:

byte ConvertToByte(BitArray bits) {     if (bits.Count != 8)     {         throw new ArgumentException('bits');     }     byte[] bytes = new byte[1];     bits.CopyTo(bytes, 0);     return bytes[0]; }
