Set implements a collection of unordered values with no duplicates. This is a hybrid of Array's intuitive inter-operation facilities and Hash's fast lookup.
The equality of each couple of elements is determined according to Object#eql? and Object#hash, since Set uses Hash as storage.
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.
Comparison
The comparison operators <, >, <= and >= are implemented as shorthand for the {proper_,}{subset?,superset?} methods. However, the <=> operator is intentionally left out because not every pair of sets is comparable. ({x,y} vs. {x,z} for example)
Example
require 'set'
s1 = Set.new [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: {6, 1, 2, "foo"}>
s1.subset? s2 # -> false
s2.subset? s1 # -> true

InspectKey | = | :__inspect_key__ |
Creates a new set containing the given objects.
Creates a new set containing the elements of the given enumerable object.
If a block is given, the elements of enum are preprocessed by the given block.
Returns a new set containing elements common to the set and the given enumerable object.
Returns a new set built by duplicating the set, removing every element that appears in the given enumerable object.
Returns true if two sets are equal. The equality of each couple of elements is defined according to Object#eql?.
Returns a new set containing elements exclusive between the set and the given enumerable object. (set ^ enum) is equivalent to ((set | enum) - (set & enum)).
Adds the given object to the set and returns self. Use merge
to add many elements at once.
Adds the given object to the set and returns self. If the object is already in the set, returns nil.
Classifies the set by the return value of the given block and returns a hash of {value => set of elements} pairs. The block is called once for each element of the set, passing the element as parameter.
e.g.:
require 'set'
files = Set.new(Dir.glob("*.rb"))
hash = files.classify { |f| File.mtime(f).year }
p hash # => {2000=>#<Set: {"a.rb", "b.rb"}>,
# 2001=>#<Set: {"c.rb", "d.rb", "e.rb"}>,
# 2002=>#<Set: {"f.rb"}>}
Removes all elements and returns self.
Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. Use
subtract
to delete many items at once.
Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. If the object is not in the set, returns nil.
Deletes every element of the set for which block evaluates to true, and returns self.
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 block.call(o1, o2) is true. Otherwise, elements o1 and o2 are in common if block.call(o1) == block.call(o2).
e.g.:
require 'set'
numbers = Set[1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11]
set = numbers.divide { |i,j| (i - j).abs == 1 }
p set # => #<Set: {#<Set: {1}>,
# #<Set: {11, 9, 10}>,
# #<Set: {3, 4}>,
# #<Set: {6}>}>
# File lib/set.rb, line 431 def divide(&func) func or return enum_for(__method__) if func.arity == 2 require 'tsort' class << dig = {} # :nodoc: include TSort alias tsort_each_node each_key def tsort_each_child(node, &block) fetch(node).each(&block) end end each { |u| dig[u] = a = [] each{ |v| func.call(u, v) and a << v } } set = Set.new() dig.each_strongly_connected_component { |css| set.add(self.class.new(css)) } set else Set.new(classify(&func).values) end end
Calls the given block once for each element in the set, passing the element as parameter. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
Returns true if the set contains no elements.
Returns a new set that is a copy of the set, flattening each containing set recursively.
Equivalent to #flatten, but replaces the receiver with the result in place. Returns nil if no modifications were made.
Copy internal hash.
Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of the set. (“#<Set: {element1, element2, …}>”)
Deletes every element of the set for which block evaluates to false, and returns self.
Merges the elements of the given enumerable object to the set and returns self.
Returns true if the set is a proper subset of the given set.
Returns true if the set is a proper superset of the given set.
Equivalent to #delete_if, but returns nil if no changes were made.
Replaces the contents of the set with the contents of the given enumerable object and returns self.
Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.
Converts the set to an array. The order of elements is uncertain.
