Chapter - 15: Operations On Bits

The information about colors is to be stored in bits of a char variable called color. The bit number 0 to 6, each represents 7 colors of a rainbow, i.e. bit 0 represents violet, 1 represents indigo, and so on. Write a program that asks the user to enter a number and based on this number it reports which colors in the rainbow does the number represents.
