8.17.3: Count how often each bit is set in all the bytes of the given binary file.

Open the file with the given name as a binary file. Count how often each bit is set in all the bytes of the file. A byte value returned by infile.get outside the range from 0 to 255 indicates the end of the file. Once you have a byte, you can get the bits like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {   if (byte % 2 == 1)   {      // The i-th bit is set   }   byte = byte / 2; }

CODE SHOWN BELOW:

#include
#include
#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int bit_counts[8];
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) { bit_counts[i] = 0; }
fstream infile;
string filename;
cin >> filename;

/* Your code goes here */

int largest = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
cout << i << ": " << bit_counts[i] << endl;
}
return 0;
}
