    Set

    An immutable sorted set module which allows customized compare behavior.

    The implementation uses balanced binary trees, and therefore searching and insertion take time logarithmic in the size of the map.

    For more info on this module's usage of identity, make and others, please see the top level documentation of Belt, A special encoding for collection safety.

    Examples

    RESCRIPT
    module PairComparator = Belt.Id.MakeComparable({ type t = (int, int) let cmp = ((a0, a1), (b0, b1)) => switch Pervasives.compare(a0, b0) { | 0 => Pervasives.compare(a1, b1) | c => c } }) let mySet = Belt.Set.make(~id=module(PairComparator)) let mySet2 = Belt.Set.add(mySet, (1, 2))

    Note: This module's examples will assume a predeclared module for integers called IntCmp. It is declared like this:

    RESCRIPT
    module IntCmp = Belt.Id.MakeComparable({ type t = int let cmp = Pervasives.compare })

    add

    RESCRIPT
    let add: (t<'value, 'id>, 'value) => t<'value, 'id>

    Adds element to set. If element existed in set, value is unchanged.

    Examples

    RESCRIPT
    module IntCmp = Belt.Id.MakeComparable({ type t = int let cmp = Pervasives.compare }) let s0 = Belt.Set.make(~id=module(IntCmp)) let s1 = s0->Belt.Set.add(1) let s2 = s1->Belt.Set.add(2) let s3 = s2->Belt.Set.add(2) s0->Belt.Set.toArray == [] s1->Belt.Set.toArray == [1] s2->Belt.Set.toArray == [1, 2] s3->Belt.Set.toArray == [1, 2] s2 == s3

    checkInvariantInternal

    RESCRIPT
    let checkInvariantInternal: t<'a, 'b> => unit

    throw when invariant is not held

    cmp

    RESCRIPT
    let cmp: (t<'value, 'id>, t<'value, 'id>) => int

    Total ordering between sets. Can be used as the ordering function for doing sets of sets. It compares size first and then iterates over each element following the order of elements.

    diff

    RESCRIPT
    let diff: (t<'value, 'id>, t<'value, 'id>) => t<'value, 'id>

    Returns elements from first set, not existing in second set.

    Examples

    RESCRIPT
    module IntCmp = Belt.Id.MakeComparable({ type t = int let cmp = Pervasives.compare }) let s0 = Belt.Set.fromArray([5, 2, 3, 5, 6], ~id=module(IntCmp)) let s1 = Belt.Set.fromArray([5, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4], ~id=module(IntCmp)) Belt.Set.diff(s0, s1)->Belt.Set.toArray == [6] Belt.Set.diff(s1, s0)->Belt.Set.toArray == [1, 4]

    eq

    RESCRIPT
    let eq: (t<'value, 'id>, t<'value, 'id>) => bool

    Checks if two sets are equal.

    Examples

    RESCRIPT
    module IntCmp = Belt.Id.MakeComparable({ type t = int let cmp = Pervasives.compare }) let s0 = Belt.Set.fromArray([5, 2, 3], ~id=module(IntCmp)) let s1 = Belt.Set.fromArray([3, 2, 5], ~id=module(IntCmp)) Belt.Set.eq(s0, s1) == true

    every

    RESCRIPT
    let every: (t<'value, 'id>, 'value => bool) => bool

    Checks if all elements of the set satisfy the predicate. Order unspecified.

    Examples

    RESCRIPT
    module IntCmp = Belt.Id.MakeComparable({ type t = int let cmp = Pervasives.compare }) let isEven = x => mod(x, 2) == 0 let s0 = Belt.Set.fromArray([2, 4, 6, 8], ~id=module(IntCmp)) s0->Belt.Set.every(isEven) == true

    forEach

    RESCRIPT
    let forEach: (t<'value, 'id>, 'value => unit) => unit

    fromArray

    RESCRIPT
    let fromArray: (array<'value>, ~id: id<'value, 'id>) => t<'value, 'id>

    Creates new set from array of elements.
