How can I convert an int to an array of bool?

Question

How can I convert an int to an array of bool (representing the bits in the integer)? For example:

4 = { true, false, false }
7 = { true, true, true }
255 = { true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true }

Answer 1

An int should map nicely to BitVector32 (or BitArray)

int i = 4;
var bv = new BitVector32(i);
bool x = bv[0], y = bv[1], z = bv[2]; // example access via indexer

However, personally I'd just use shifts (>> etc) and keep it as an int. The bool[] would be much bigger
