Set Class

The Set is considered and implemented as a specialized Container, that is, elements are always unique in the Container and it provides typical set operations such as union and intersect. For the standard S3 interface, see setnew().

Examples

s1 = Set$new(1, 2)
s1
#> {1, 2}
s1$add(1)
#> {1, 2}
s1$add(3)
#> {1, 2, 3}
s2 = Set$new(3, 4, 5)
s1$union(s2)
#> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
s1
#> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

s1 = Set$new(1, 2, 3)
s1$intersect(s2)
#> {3}
s1
#> {3}
