You can either use an array of type bool or use an array of chars and use values of 0 or 1. Either way you will use up 1 byte per array entry.
If you want to store 8 bits per byte then you need to create your own code that uses binary masks to pack the data.

may be by using bitset c++. search for C++ bitset on the web. It's very usefull to manipulate bit strcutures
