#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
 
int main() 
{
    std::bitset<10> b1("1111010000");
 
    size_t idx = 0;
    while (idx < b1.size() && !b1.test(idx)) {
      ++idx;
    }
 
    if (idx < b1.size()) {
        std::cout << "first set bit at index " << idx << '\n';
    } else {
        std::cout << "no set bits\n";
    }
 
    return 0;
}

Output:
