intsets

The intsets module implements an efficient int set implemented as a sparse bit set.

Note: Currently the assignment operator = for IntSet performs some rather meaningless shallow copy. Since Nim currently does not allow the assignment operator to be overloaded, use assign proc to get a deep copy.

Types

IntSet = object
  elems: int
  counter, max: int
  head: PTrunk
  data: TrunkSeq
  a: array[0 .. 33, int]
An efficient set of int implemented as a sparse bit set.   Source Edit

Procs

proc initIntSet(): IntSet {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns an empty IntSet.

See also:

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
assert len(a) == 0
  Source Edit
proc contains(s: IntSet; key: int): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns true if key is in s.

This allows the usage of in operator.

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
for x in [1, 3, 5]:
  a.incl(x)
assert a.contains(3)
assert 3 in a
assert(not a.contains(8))
assert 8 notin a
  Source Edit
proc incl(s: var IntSet; key: int) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Includes an element key in s.

This doesn't do anything if key is already in s.

See also:

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
a.incl(3)
a.incl(3)
assert len(a) == 1
  Source Edit
proc incl(s: var IntSet; other: IntSet) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Includes all elements from other into s.

This is the in-place version of s + other.

See also:

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1)
b.incl(5)
a.incl(b)
assert len(a) == 2
assert 5 in a
  Source Edit
proc toIntSet(x: openArray[int]): IntSet {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Creates a new IntSet that contains the elements of x.

Duplicates are removed.

See also:

Example:

var
  a = toIntSet([5, 6, 7])
  b = toIntSet(@[1, 8, 8, 8])
assert len(a) == 3
assert len(b) == 2
  Source Edit
proc containsOrIncl(s: var IntSet; key: int): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Includes key in the set s and tells if key was already in s.

The difference with regards to the incl proc is that this proc returns true if s already contained key. The proc will return false if key was added as a new value to s during this call.

See also:

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
assert a.containsOrIncl(3) == false
assert a.containsOrIncl(3) == true
assert a.containsOrIncl(4) == false
  Source Edit
proc excl(s: var IntSet; key: int) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Excludes key from the set s.

This doesn't do anything if key is not found in s.

See also:

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
a.incl(3)
a.excl(3)
a.excl(3)
a.excl(99)
assert len(a) == 0
  Source Edit
proc excl(s: var IntSet; other: IntSet) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Excludes all elements from other from s.

This is the in-place version of s - other.

See also:

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1)
a.incl(5)
b.incl(5)
a.excl(b)
assert len(a) == 1
assert 5 notin a
  Source Edit
proc len(s: IntSet): int {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
Returns the number of elements in s.   Source Edit
proc missingOrExcl(s: var IntSet; key: int): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Excludes key in the set s and tells if key was already missing from s.

The difference with regards to the excl proc is that this proc returns true if key was missing from s. The proc will return false if key was in s and it was removed during this call.

See also:

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
a.incl(5)
assert a.missingOrExcl(5) == false
assert a.missingOrExcl(5) == true
  Source Edit
proc clear(result: var IntSet) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Clears the IntSet back to an empty state.

Example:

var a = initIntSet()
a.incl(5)
a.incl(7)
clear(a)
assert len(a) == 0
  Source Edit
proc isNil(x: IntSet): bool {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc assign(dest: var IntSet; src: IntSet) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Copies src to dest. dest does not need to be initialized by initIntSet proc.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
b.incl(5)
b.incl(7)
a.assign(b)
assert len(a) == 2
  Source Edit
proc union(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns the union of the sets s1 and s2.

The same as s1 + s2.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1); a.incl(2); a.incl(3)
b.incl(3); b.incl(4); b.incl(5)
assert union(a, b).len == 5
## {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
  Source Edit
proc intersection(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns the intersection of the sets s1 and s2.

The same as s1 * s2.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1); a.incl(2); a.incl(3)
b.incl(3); b.incl(4); b.incl(5)
assert intersection(a, b).len == 1
## {3}
  Source Edit
proc difference(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns the difference of the sets s1 and s2.

The same as s1 - s2.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1); a.incl(2); a.incl(3)
b.incl(3); b.incl(4); b.incl(5)
assert difference(a, b).len == 2
## {1, 2}
  Source Edit
proc symmetricDifference(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Returns the symmetric difference of the sets s1 and s2.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1); a.incl(2); a.incl(3)
b.incl(3); b.incl(4); b.incl(5)
assert symmetricDifference(a, b).len == 4
## {1, 2, 4, 5}
  Source Edit
proc `+`(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
Alias for union(s1, s2).   Source Edit
proc `*`(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
Alias for intersection(s1, s2).   Source Edit
proc `-`(s1, s2: IntSet): IntSet {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
Alias for difference(s1, s2).   Source Edit
proc disjoint(s1, s2: IntSet): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Returns true if the sets s1 and s2 have no items in common.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1); a.incl(2)
b.incl(2); b.incl(3)
assert disjoint(a, b) == false
b.excl(2)
assert disjoint(a, b) == true
  Source Edit
proc card(s: IntSet): int {...}{.inline, raises: [], tags: [].}
Alias for len().   Source Edit
proc `<=`(s1, s2: IntSet): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns true if s1 is subset of s2.

A subset s1 has all of its elements in s2, and s2 doesn't necessarily have more elements than s1. That is, s1 can be equal to s2.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1)
b.incl(1); b.incl(2)
assert a <= b
a.incl(2)
assert a <= b
a.incl(3)
assert(not (a <= b))
  Source Edit
proc `<`(s1, s2: IntSet): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns true if s1 is proper subset of s2.

A strict or proper subset s1 has all of its elements in s2, but s2 has more elements than s1.

Example:

var
  a = initIntSet()
  b = initIntSet()
a.incl(1)
b.incl(1); b.incl(2)
assert a < b
a.incl(2)
assert(not (a < b))
  Source Edit
proc `==`(s1, s2: IntSet): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Returns true if both s1 and s2 have the same elements and set size.   Source Edit
proc `$`(s: IntSet): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

The $ operator for int sets.

Converts the set s to a string, mostly for logging and printing purposes.
