Sets and bags (multisets) are mutable collections that can contain any Scheme object. Integer sets are mutable collections that can contain non-negative integers from 0 to a value n that is specified when the integer set is created.
Sets and bags (multisets) are intended to be a thin veneer over hashtables, and integer sets are a thin veneer over bit vectors. Consequently, the -member?, -add!, and -remove! procedures are required to have an amortized cost of O(1).
(make-set proc)
Constructs and returns a new empty set. Proc is the equality procedure for the set, which must be consistent with eq?. If proc is other than eq?, eqv?, equal, or string-ci=?, the implementation MAY signal an error.
(set element ...)
Constructs and returns a new set containing the elements.
(copy-set set)
Constructs and returns a new set containing the elements of set.
(set? obj)
Returns #t if obj is a set, and #f otherwise.
(set-length? set)
Returns the number of elements in set.
(set-member? set element)
Returns #t if element is a member of set and #f otherwise.
(set-add! set element)
Adds element to set unless it is already a member. Returns unspecified values.
(set-remove! set element)
Removes element from set unless it is not a member. Returns unspecified values.
(set-map proc set ...)
Applies proc to the sets and constructs and returns a new set containing the values of the applications.
(set-for-each proc set ...)
Applies proc to the sets, discarding the returned values. Returns unspecified results.
(set->list set)
Constructs and returns a new list containing the members of set in unspecified order.
(list->set list)
Constructs and returns a new set containing the elements of list.
(set->vector set)
Constructs and returns a new vector containing the elements of set in unspecified order.
(vector->set vector)
Constructs and returns a new set containing the elements of vector.
(set<= set ...)
Returns #t if each set other than the last is a subset of the following set, and #f otherwise. All the sets must share the same equality predicate.
(set= set ...)
Returns #t if each set contains the same elements. All the sets must share the same equality predicate.
(set-union set ...)
Constructs and returns a new set that is the union of the sets.
(set-intersection set ...)
Constructs and returns a new set that is the intersection of the sets.
(set-difference set ...)
Constructs and returns a new set that is the difference of the sets.
(set-xor set ...)
Constructs and returns a new set that is the xor (symmetric difference) of the sets.
(set-union! set other-set ...)
Mutates set to a new set that is the union of set and the other-sets.
(set-intersection! set other-set ...)
Mutates set to a new set that is the difference of set and the other-sets.
(set-difference! set other-set ...)
Mutates set to a new set that is the difference of set and the other-sets.
(set-xor! set other-set ...)
Mutates set to a new set that is the xor (symmetric difference) of set and the other-sets.
The procedures for creating and manipulating bags are the same as those for sets, except that set is replaced by bag in their names, and that adding an element to a bag is effective even if the bag already contains the element.
(make-integer-set n)
Constructs and returns a new empty integer set. The possible elements of the set are the exact integers from 0 to n - 1.
(integer-set n element ...)
Constructs and returns a new integer set. The possible elements of the set are the exact integers from 0 to n - 1. The set is initialized to contain the elements.
(list->integer-set n list)
Constructs and returns a new integer set. The possible elements of the set are the exact integers from 0 to n - 1. The set is initialized to contain the elements of list.
(vector->integer-set n list)
Constructs and returns a new integer set. The possible elements of the set are the exact integers from 0 to n - 1. The set is initialized to contain the elements of vector.
The other integer set procedures are the same as those for sets, except that set is replaced by integer-set in their names.
set->bag, bag->set, integer-set->bag, and integer-set->set take one argument and do the obvious thing. bag->integer-set and set->integer-set take two arguments, n and the set or bag, and also do the obvious thing.
