A purpose of function strtoull is convert a string into unsigned long long int type value. This function needs a C-string type (declared as char *) first parameter. When want to use it with a object string (declared as string n) you have to convert it into C-string. So, the parameters of calling the function strtoull here in code : strtoull(n.c_str(),NULL,2) are: n.c_str() converts your string into C-string NULL-read the number to end of string 2 - base of number in string. Just for right parsing. So here 2 means a binary base. Only 0 and 1 are allowed
