sets(3erl) | Erlang Module Definition | sets(3erl) |
NAME¶
sets - Functions for set manipulation.DESCRIPTION¶
Sets are collections of elements with no duplicate elements. The representation of a set is undefined.This module provides the same interface as the ordsets(3erl) module but with a defined representation. One difference is that while this module considers two elements as different if they do not match (=:=), ordsets considers two elements as different if and only if they do not compare equal (==).
DATA TYPES¶
set(Element)
As returned by new/0.
set() = set(term())
EXPORTS¶
add_element(Element, Set1) -> Set2
Types:
Returns a new set formed from Set1 with Element inserted.
del_element(Element, Set1) -> Set2
Types:
Returns Set1, but with Element removed.
filter(Pred, Set1) -> Set2
Types:
Set1 = Set2 = set(Element)
Filters elements in Set1 with boolean function Pred.
fold(Function, Acc0, Set) -> Acc1
Types:
Set = set(Element)
Acc0 = Acc1 = AccIn = AccOut = Acc
Folds Function over every element in Set and returns the final value of the accumulator. The evaluation order is undefined.
from_list(List) -> Set
Types:
Set = set(Element)
Returns a set of the elements in List.
intersection(SetList) -> Set
Types:
Set = set(Element)
Returns the intersection of the non-empty list of sets.
intersection(Set1, Set2) -> Set3
Types:
Returns the intersection of Set1 and Set2.
is_disjoint(Set1, Set2) -> boolean()
Types:
Returns true if Set1 and Set2 are disjoint (have no elements in common), otherwise false.
is_element(Element, Set) -> boolean()
Types:
Returns true if Element is an element of Set, otherwise false.
is_set(Set) -> boolean()
Types:
Returns true if Set is a set of elements, otherwise false.
is_subset(Set1, Set2) -> boolean()
Types:
Returns true when every element of Set1 is also a member of Set2, otherwise false.
new() -> set()
Returns a new empty set.
size(Set) -> integer() >= 0
Types:
Returns the number of elements in Set.
subtract(Set1, Set2) -> Set3
Types:
Returns only the elements of Set1 that are not also elements of Set2.
to_list(Set) -> List
Types:
List = [Element]
Returns the elements of Set as a list. The order of the returned elements is undefined.
union(SetList) -> Set
Types:
Set = set(Element)
Returns the merged (union) set of the list of sets.
union(Set1, Set2) -> Set3
Types:
Returns the merged (union) set of Set1 and Set2.
