Collect the bits into whole bytes, such as an unsigned char or std::bitset (where the bitset size is a multiple of CHAR_BIT), then write whole bytes at a time. Computers "deal with bits", but the available abstraction – especially for IO – is that you, as a programmer, deal with individual bytes. Bitwise manipulation can be used to toggle specific bits, but you're always handling byte-sized objects.
For writing binary, the trick I have found most helpful is to store all the binary as a single array in memory and then move it all over to the hard drive. Doing a bit at a time, or a byte at a time, or an unsigned long long at a time is not as fast as having all the data stored in an array and using one instance of "fwrite()" to store it to the hard drive.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
