lol hilarious. So you went ahead and created a new post just to stick your code in the code tags per chrisnames advice here? http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/14184/ You should have just edited your post!!

It works. By the way, 4 != 50.
You capitalized "struct", you were using bitwise & on studenttype x twice and you also put "count" instead of cout.

When I compiled using GCC I got 4. Funny that...

GCC stands for the GNU Compiler Collection or it can stand for the GNU C Compiler.
