[erlang-questions] How to create a bit array / bit vector

[maverik a]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a bit array in Erlang with simple new() , set() and
get() operations.

My new() looks like:
new(Max) ->
N = 1 bsl Max-1,
<<N>>.

but problem I'm stuck with is, my max can be at most 8 .

How can I create a *bitstring *of Max length ?

Regards
Maverick
