Object
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 #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.
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).
require 'set' 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

Creates a new set containing the given objects.
Set[1, 2] # => #<Set: {1, 2}> Set[1, 2, 1] # => #<Set: {1, 2}> Set[1, 'c', :s] # => #<Set: {1, "c", :s}>
# File set.rb, line 78 def self.[](*ary) new(ary) end
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.
Set.new([1, 2]) #=> #<Set: {1, 2}> Set.new([1, 2, 1]) #=> #<Set: {1, 2}> Set.new([1, 'c', :s]) #=> #<Set: {1, "c", :s}> Set.new(1..5) #=> #<Set: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}> Set.new([1, 2, 3]) { |x| x * x } #=> #<Set: {1, 4, 9}>
# File set.rb, line 93 def initialize(enum = nil, &block) # :yields: o @hash ||= Hash.new(false) enum.nil? and return if block do_with_enum(enum) { |o| add(block[o]) } else merge(enum) end end
Returns a new set containing elements common to the set and the given enumerable object.
Set[1, 3, 5] & Set[3, 2, 1] #=> #<Set: {3, 1}> Set['a', 'b', 'z'] & ['a', 'b', 'c'] #=> #<Set: {"a", "b"}>
# File set.rb, line 465 def &(enum) n = self.class.new if enum.is_a?(Set) if enum.size > size each { |o| n.add(o) if enum.include?(o) } else enum.each { |o| n.add(o) if include?(o) } end else do_with_enum(enum) { |o| n.add(o) if include?(o) } end n end
Returns a new set built by duplicating the set, removing every element that appears in the given enumerable object.
Set[1, 3, 5] - Set[1, 5] #=> #<Set: {3}> Set['a', 'b', 'z'] - ['a', 'c'] #=> #<Set: {"b", "z"}>
# File set.rb, line 455 def -(enum) dup.subtract(enum) end
Returns true if two sets are equal. The equality of each couple of elements is defined according to Object#eql?.
Set[1, 2] == Set[2, 1] #=> true Set[1, 3, 5] == Set[1, 5] #=> false Set['a', 'b', 'c'] == Set['a', 'c', 'b'] #=> true Set['a', 'b', 'c'] == ['a', 'c', 'b'] #=> false
# File set.rb, line 499 def ==(other) if self.equal?(other) true elsif other.instance_of?(self.class) @hash == other.instance_variable_get(:@hash) elsif other.is_a?(Set) && self.size == other.size other.all? { |o| @hash.include?(o) } else false end end
Returns true if the given object is a member of the set, and false otherwise.
Used in case statements:
require 'set' case :apple when Set[:potato, :carrot] "vegetable" when Set[:apple, :banana] "fruit" end # => "fruit"
Or by itself:
Set[1, 2, 3] === 2 #=> true Set[1, 2, 3] === 4 #=> false
Returns a new set containing elements exclusive between the set and the given enumerable object. (set ^ enum) is equivalent to ((set | enum) - (set & enum)).
Set[1, 2] ^ Set[2, 3] #=> #<Set: {3, 1}> Set[1, 'b', 'c'] ^ ['b', 'd'] #=> #<Set: {"d", 1, "c"}>
# File set.rb, line 486 def ^(enum) n = Set.new(enum) each { |o| n.add(o) unless n.delete?(o) } n end
Adds the given object to the set and returns self. Use merge
to add many elements at once.
Set[1, 2].add(3) #=> #<Set: {1, 2, 3}> Set[1, 2].add([3, 4]) #=> #<Set: {1, 2, [3, 4]}> Set[1, 2].add(2) #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>
# File set.rb, line 338 def add(o) @hash[o] = true self end
Adds the given object to the set and returns self. If the object is already in the set, returns nil.
Set[1, 2].add?(3) #=> #<Set: {1, 2, 3}> Set[1, 2].add?([3, 4]) #=> #<Set: {1, 2, [3, 4]}> Set[1, 2].add?(2) #=> nil
# File set.rb, line 350 def add?(o) add(o) unless include?(o) end
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.
require 'set' files = Set.new(Dir.glob("*.rb")) hash = files.classify { |f| File.mtime(f).year } hash #=> {2000=>#<Set: {"a.rb", "b.rb"}>, # 2001=>#<Set: {"c.rb", "d.rb", "e.rb"}>, # 2002=>#<Set: {"f.rb"}>}
Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
# File set.rb, line 568 def classify # :yields: o block_given? or return enum_for(__method__) { size } h = {} each { |i| (h[yield(i)] ||= self.class.new).add(i) } h end
Removes all elements and returns self.
set = Set[1, 'c', :s] #=> #<Set: {1, "c", :s}> set.clear #=> #<Set: {}> set #=> #<Set: {}>
# File set.rb, line 166 def clear @hash.clear self end
Replaces the elements with ones returned by collect(). Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
# File set.rb, line 391 def collect! block_given? or return enum_for(__method__) { size } set = self.class.new each { |o| set << yield(o) } replace(set) end

# File set.rb, line 107 def compare_by_identity if @hash.respond_to?(:compare_by_identity) @hash.compare_by_identity self else raise NotImplementedError, "#{self.class.name}\##{__method__} is not implemented" end end
Returns true if the set will compare its elements by their identity. Also see #compare_by_identity.
# File set.rb, line 118 def compare_by_identity? @hash.respond_to?(:compare_by_identity?) && @hash.compare_by_identity? end
Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. Use
subtract
to delete many items at once.
# File set.rb, line 356 def delete(o) @hash.delete(o) self end

# File set.rb, line 363 def delete?(o) delete(o) if include?(o) end
Deletes every element of the set for which block evaluates to true, and returns self. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
# File set.rb, line 370 def delete_if block_given? or return enum_for(__method__) { size } # @hash.delete_if should be faster, but using it breaks the order # of enumeration in subclasses. select { |o| yield o }.each { |o| @hash.delete(o) } self end
Returns true if the set and the given set have no element in common. This
method is the opposite of intersect?
.
Set[1, 2, 3].disjoint? Set[3, 4] #=> false Set[1, 2, 3].disjoint? Set[4, 5] #=> true
# File set.rb, line 319 def disjoint?(set) !intersect?(set) end
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).
require 'set' numbers = Set[1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11] set = numbers.divide { |i,j| (i - j).abs == 1 } set #=> #<Set: {#<Set: {1}>, # #<Set: {11, 9, 10}>, # #<Set: {3, 4}>, # #<Set: {6}>}>

Returns true if the set contains no elements.
# File set.rb, line 157 def empty? @hash.empty? end
Returns a new set that is a copy of the set, flattening each containing set recursively.
# File set.rb, line 227 def flatten self.class.new.flatten_merge(self) end
Equivalent to #flatten, but replaces the receiver with the result in place. Returns nil if no modifications were made.
# File set.rb, line 233 def flatten! replace(flatten()) if any? { |e| e.is_a?(Set) } end
Returns true if the set contains the given object.
Note that include?
and member?
do not test member
equality using ==
as do other Enumerables.

# File set.rb, line 381 def keep_if block_given? or return enum_for(__method__) { size } # @hash.keep_if should be faster, but using it breaks the order of # enumeration in subclasses. reject { |o| yield o }.each { |o| @hash.delete(o) } self end
Merges the elements of the given enumerable object to the set and returns self.
# File set.rb, line 422 def merge(enum) if enum.instance_of?(self.class) @hash.update(enum.instance_variable_get(:@hash)) else do_with_enum(enum) { |o| add(o) } end self end
