/*
 * TDDD86 Huffman Encoding
 * This file defines the ibitstream and obitstream classes which are basically
 * same as the ordinary istream and ostream classes, but add the
 * functionality to read and write one bit at a time.
 *
 * The idea is that you can substitute an ibitstream in place of an
 * istream and use the same operations (get, fail, >>, etc.)
 * along with added member functions of readBit, rewind, and size.
 *
 * Similarly, the obitstream can be used in place of ofstream, and has
 * same operations (put, fail, <<, etc.) along with additional
 * member functions writebit and size.
 *
 * There are two subclasses of ibitstream: ifbitstream and istringbitstream,
 * which are similar to the ifstream and istringstream classes.	 The
 * obitstream class similarly has ofbitstream and ostringbitstream as
 * subclasses.
 *
 * Please do not modify this provided file. Your turned-in files should work
 * with an unmodified version of all provided code files.
