Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static byte`	`bitsToByte(byte[] bits)`	Converts 8 bits into a the byte they are representing.
`static byte[]`	`byteToBits(byte byteToConvert)`	Converts a byte into an array with length 8 that contains the bit representation of that byte.
`static byte[][]`	`byteToBits(byte[] bytes)`	Converts a byte array to a 2d-array containing the bit representation of each byte.

public BitByteConverter()
```
- Method Detail
  - byteToBits
```
public static byte[][] byteToBits(byte[] bytes)
```
    Converts a byte array to a 2d-array containing the bit representation of each byte. An empty array will be treated as a byte array containing only a zero.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - Byte array to convert into bits
    
    Returns:
    
    Byte array:
    First dimension = the number of the current byte
    Second dimension = the bit representation for that byte
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the given byte array is null
  - byteToBits
```
public static byte[] byteToBits(byte byteToConvert)
```
    Converts a byte into an array with length 8 that contains the bit representation of that byte.
    
    Parameters:
    
    byteToConvert - Byte to convert into bits
    
    Returns:
    
    Byte array - the bit representation for that byte
  - bitsToByte
```
public static byte bitsToByte(byte[] bits)
```
    Converts 8 bits into a the byte they are representing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bits - Array of 8 bits to convert into a byte
    
    Returns:
    
    byte - Byte representation of the bits
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the length of the array is not 8 or an element of the array is neither 0 nor 1
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the given array is null
