Types
Set
A set is a collection of unique members of the same type.
It is implemented using the gleam/map module, so inserts and lookups have
logarithmic time complexity.
pub opaque type Set(member)
Functions
contains
pub fn contains(in set: Set(a), this member: a) -> Bool
Check whether a set contains a given member.
This function runs in logarithmic time.
Examples
> new() |> insert(2) |> contains(2)
True
> new() |> insert(2) |> contains(1)
False
delete
pub fn delete(from set: Set(a), this member: a) -> Set(a)
Remove an member from a set. If the set does not contain the member then the set is returned unchanged.
This function runs in logarithmic time.
Examples
> new() |> insert(2) |> delete(2) |> contains(1)
False
filter
pub fn filter( in set: Set(a), for property: fn(a) -> Bool, ) -> Set(a)
Create a new set from an existing set, minus any members that a given function returns False for.
This function runs in loglinear time.
Examples
> import gleam/int
> from_list([1, 4, 6, 3, 675, 44, 67])
> |> filter(for: int.is_even)
> |> to_list
[4, 6, 44]
fold
pub fn fold( over set: Set(a), from initial: b, with reducer: fn(a, b) -> b, ) -> b
Combine all entries into a single value by calling a given function on each one.
Sets are not ordered so the values are not returned in any specific order. Do not write code that relies on the order entries are used by this function as it may change in later versions of Gleam or Erlang.
Examples
> from_list([1, 3, 9])
> |> fold(0, fn(member, accumulator) { accumulator + member })
13
from_list
pub fn from_list(members: List(a)) -> Set(a)
Create a new set of the members in a given list.
This function runs in loglinear time.
Examples
> import gleam/list
> [1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 2] |> from_list |> to_list |> list.sort
[1, 3, 3, 4]
insert
pub fn insert(into set: Set(a), this member: a) -> Set(a)
Insert an member into the set.
This function runs in logarithmic time.
Examples
> new() |> insert(1) |> insert(2) |> size
2
intersection
pub fn intersection( of first: Set(a), and second: Set(a), ) -> Set(a)
Create a new set that contains members that are present in both given sets.
This function runs in loglinear time.
Examples
> intersection(from_list([1, 2]), from_list([2, 3])) |> to_list
[2]
size
pub fn size(set: Set(a)) -> Int
Get the number of members in a set.
This function runs in constant time.
Examples
> new() |> insert(1) |> insert(2) |> size
2
take
pub fn take(from set: Set(a), keeping desired: List(a)) -> Set(a)
Create a new map from a given map, only including any members which are in a given list.
This function runs in loglinear time.
Examples
> from_list([1, 2, 3]) |> take([1, 3, 5]) |> to_list
[1, 3]
to_list
pub fn to_list(set: Set(a)) -> List(a)
Convert the set into a list of the contained members.
The list has no specific ordering, any unintentional ordering may change in future versions of Gleam or Erlang.
This function runs in linear time.
Examples
> new() |> insert(2) |> to_list
[2]
union
pub fn union(of first: Set(a), and second: Set(a)) -> Set(a)
Create a new set that contains all members of both given sets.
This function runs in loglinear time.
Examples
> union(from_list([1, 2]), from_list([2, 3])) |> to_list
[1, 2, 3]
