BitArray: A simple bit array/bit field library in pure JavaScript

BitArray is based on the Ruby library BitArray by Peter Cooper (https://github.com/peterc/bitarray).

Basic, pure JavaScript bit field.

Examples

Create a bit array 1000 bits wide:

varba=newBitArray(1000);

Setting and reading bits:

ba.set(100,1);ba.get(100);// => 1ba.set(100,0);ba.get(100);// = > 0

More:

varba=newBitArray(20);[1,3,5,9,11,13,15].forEach(function(i){ba.set(i,1)});ba.toString();// => "01010100010101010000"

Notes

The total_set method is not ported for now.

There might be bugs, this is just a quick port. Non-sucky tests would be awesome. hinthint (The test file from the original repo https://github.com/peterc/bitarray/blob/master/test/test_bitarray.rb should be ported.)
