Overview
This library provides the Set
class, which deals with a collection of unordered values with no duplicates. It is a hybrid of Array’s intuitive inter-operation facilities and Hash’s fast lookup.
The method #to_set is added to ::Enumerable
for convenience.
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.
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 Hash as storage, so you must note the following points:
-
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 return nil
for sets that both have distinct elements (‘y
` vs. {x, z}
for example).
Example
“‘ruby require ’set’ s1 = Set[1, 2] #=> #<Set: 2
> s2 = [1, 2].to_set #=> #<Set: 2
> s1 == s2 #=> true s1.add(“foo”) #=> #<Set: 2, “foo”
> s1.merge([2, 6]) #=> #<Set: 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

self
and all elements from a given enumerable (no duplicates). -

self
and a given enumerable. -
[-](#method-i-2D) (aliased as #difference): Returns a copy of
self

self
and a given enumerable except those common to both.
Methods for Comparing
-

self
is less than, equal to, or greater than a given object. -
[==](#method-i-3D-3D): 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.

-
#empty?: Returns whether the set has no elements.
-
#include? (aliased as #member? and #===): Returns whether a given object is an element in the set.

true
if the set and a given enumerable have no common elements,false
otherwise. -

#select!(&block) Also known as: #filter!
Equivalent to #keep_if, but returns nil if no changes were made. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
#size Also known as: #length
Returns the number of elements.
# File 'lib/set.rb', line 311
def size @hash.size end
#subset?(set) ⇒ Boolean
Also known as: #<=
Returns true if the set is a subset of the given set.
#subtract(enum)
Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.
# File 'lib/set.rb', line 617
def subtract(enum) do_with_enum(enum) { |o| delete(o) } self end
#superset?(set) ⇒ Boolean
Also known as: #>=
Returns true if the set is a superset of the given set.
#to_a
Converts the set to an array. The order of elements is uncertain.
Set[1, 2].to_a #=> [1, 2]
Set[1, 'c', :s].to_a #=> [1, "c", :s]
# File 'lib/set.rb', line 352
def to_a @hash.keys end
#to_s
Alias for #inspect.
# File 'lib/set.rb', line 834
alias to_s inspect
#to_set(klass = Set, *args, &block)
Returns self if no arguments are given. Otherwise, converts the set to another with klass.new(self, *args, &block)
.
In subclasses, returns klass.new(self, *args, &block)
unless overridden.
#union(enum)
Alias for #|.
# File 'lib/set.rb', line 631
alias union |
#|(enum) Also known as: #+, #union
Returns a new set built by merging the set and the elements of the given enumerable object.
Set[1, 2, 3] | Set[2, 4, 5] #=> #<Set: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}>
Set[1, 5, 'z'] | (1..6) #=> #<Set: {1, 5, "z", 2, 3, 4, 6}>
