class Set

Documentation by Akinori MUSHA and Gavin Sinclair.

The Set class implements a collection of unordered values with no duplicates. It is a hybrid of Array’s intuitive inter-operation facilities and Hash’s fast lookup.

Set is easy to use with Enumerable objects (implementing ‘each`). Most of the initializer methods and binary operators accept generic Enumerable objects besides sets and arrays. An Enumerable object can be converted to Set using the `to_set` method.

Set uses a data structure similar to Hash for storage, except that it only has keys and no values.

Equality of elements is determined according to Object#eql? and Object#hash. Use Set#compare_by_identity to make a set compare its elements by their identity.
Set assumes that the identity of each element does not change while it is stored. Modifying an element of a set will render the set to an unreliable state.
When a string is to be stored, a frozen copy of the string is stored instead unless the original string is already frozen.

Comparison¶ ↑

The comparison operators <, >, <=, and >= are implemented as shorthand for the {proper_,}{subset?,superset?} methods. The <=> operator reflects this order, or returns nil for sets that both have distinct elements ({x, y} vs. {x, z} for example).

Example¶ ↑

s1 = Set[1, 2]                        #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>
s2 = [1, 2].to_set                    #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>
s1 == s2                              #=> true
s1.add("foo")                         #=> #<Set: {1, 2, "foo"}>
s1.merge([2, 6])                      #=> #<Set: {1, 2, "foo", 6}>
s1.subset?(s2)                        #=> false
s2.subset?(s1)                        #=> true

What’s Here¶ ↑

First, what's elsewhere. \Class \Set:

Inherits from class Object.
Includes module Enumerable, which provides dozens of additional methods.

In particular, class Set does not have many methods of its own for fetching or for iterating. Instead, it relies on those in Enumerable.

Here, class Set provides methods that are useful for:

Methods for Creating a Set¶ ↑

::[]: Returns a new set containing the given objects.
::new: Returns a new set containing either the given objects (if no block given) or the return values from the called block (if a block given).

Methods for Set Operations¶ ↑

| (aliased as union and +): Returns a new set containing all elements from self and all elements from a given enumerable (no duplicates).
& (aliased as intersection): Returns a new set containing all elements common to self and a given enumerable.
- (aliased as difference): Returns a copy of self with all elements in a given enumerable removed.
^: Returns a new set containing all elements from self and a given enumerable except those common to both.

Methods for Comparing¶ ↑

<=>: Returns -1, 0, or 1 as self is less than, equal to, or greater than a given object.
==: Returns whether self and a given enumerable are equal, as determined by Object#eql?.
compare_by_identity?: Returns whether the set considers only identity when comparing elements.

Methods for Querying¶ ↑

length (aliased as size): Returns the count of elements.
empty?: Returns whether the set has no elements.
include? (aliased as member? and ===): Returns whether a given object is an element in the set.
subset? (aliased as <=): Returns whether a given object is a subset of the set.
proper_subset? (aliased as <): Returns whether a given enumerable is a proper subset of the set.
superset? (aliased as >=): Returns whether a given enumerable is a superset of the set.
proper_superset? (aliased as >): Returns whether a given enumerable is a proper superset of the set.
disjoint?: Returns true if the set and a given enumerable have no common elements, false otherwise.
intersect?: Returns true if the set and a given enumerable: have any common elements, false otherwise.
compare_by_identity?: Returns whether the set considers only identity when comparing elements.

Methods for Assigning¶ ↑

add (aliased as <<): Adds a given object to the set; returns self.
add?: If the given object is not an element in the set, adds it and returns self; otherwise, returns nil.
merge: Merges the elements of each given enumerable object to the set; returns self.
replace: Replaces the contents of the set with the contents of a given enumerable.

Methods for Deleting¶ ↑

clear: Removes all elements in the set; returns self.
delete: Removes a given object from the set; returns self.
delete?: If the given object is an element in the set, removes it and returns self; otherwise, returns nil.
subtract: Removes each given object from the set; returns self.
delete_if - Removes elements specified by a given block.
select! (aliased as filter!): Removes elements not specified by a given block.
keep_if: Removes elements not specified by a given block.
reject! Removes elements specified by a given block.

Methods for Converting¶ ↑

classify: Returns a hash that classifies the elements, as determined by the given block.
collect! (aliased as map!): Replaces each element with a block return-value.
divide: Returns a hash that classifies the elements, as determined by the given block; differs from classify in that the block may accept either one or two arguments.
flatten: Returns a new set that is a recursive flattening of self.
flatten!: Replaces each nested set in self with the elements from that set.
inspect (aliased as to_s): Returns a string displaying the elements.
join: Returns a string containing all elements, converted to strings as needed, and joined by the given record separator.
to_a: Returns an array containing all set elements.
to_set: Returns self if given no arguments and no block; with a block given, returns a new set consisting of block return values.

Methods for Iterating¶ ↑

each: Calls the block with each successive element; returns self.

Other Methods¶ ↑

reset: Resets the internal state; useful if an object has been modified while an element in the set.

Method Set#as_json serializes self, returning a 2-element hash representing self:

require 'json/add/set'
x = Set.new(%w/foo bar baz/).as_json
# => {"json_class"=>"Set", "a"=>["foo", "bar", "baz"]}

Divides the set into a set of subsets according to the commonality defined by the given block.

If the arity of the block is 2, elements o1 and o2 are in common if both block.call(o1, o2) and block.call(o2, o1) are true. Otherwise, elements o1 and o2 are in common if block.call(o1) == block.call(o2).

numbers = Set[1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11]
set = numbers.divide { |i,j| (i - j).abs == 1 }
set        #=> #<Set: {#<Set: {1}>,
           #           #<Set: {3, 4}>,

           #           #<Set: {9, 10, 11}>,

Returns an enumerator if no block is given.

include?(item) → true or false

Source

Note that include? and member? do not test member equality using == as do other Enumerables.

This is aliased to ===, so it is usable in case expressions:

case :apple
when Set[:potato, :carrot]
  "vegetable"
when Set[:apple, :banana]
  "fruit"
end
