Collections and Data Structures

iterate(iter [, state]) -> Union{Nothing, Tuple{Any, Any}}

Advance the iterator to obtain the next element. If no elements remain, nothing should be returned. Otherwise, a 2-tuple of the next element and the new iteration state should be returned.

IteratorSize(itertype::Type) -> IteratorSize

Given the type of an iterator, return one of the following values:

• SizeUnknown() if the length (number of elements) cannot be determined in advance.
• HasLength() if there is a fixed, finite length.
• HasShape{N}() if there is a known length plus a notion of multidimensional shape (as for an array). In this case N should give the number of dimensions, and the axes function is valid for the iterator.
• IsInfinite() if the iterator yields values forever.

The default value (for iterators that do not define this function) is HasLength(). This means that most iterators are assumed to implement length.

This trait is generally used to select between algorithms that pre-allocate space for their result, and algorithms that resize their result incrementally.

julia> Base.IteratorSize(1:5)
Base.HasShape{1}()

julia> Base.IteratorSize((2,3))
Base.HasLength()

IteratorEltype(itertype::Type) -> IteratorEltype

Given the type of an iterator, return one of the following values:

• EltypeUnknown() if the type of elements yielded by the iterator is not known in advance.
• HasEltype() if the element type is known, and eltype would return a meaningful value.

HasEltype() is the default, since iterators are assumed to implement eltype.

This trait is generally used to select between algorithms that pre-allocate a specific type of result, and algorithms that pick a result type based on the types of yielded values.

julia> Base.IteratorEltype(1:5)
Base.HasEltype()

AbstractRange{T}

Supertype for ranges with elements of type T. UnitRange and other types are subtypes of this.

OrdinalRange{T, S} <: AbstractRange{T}

Supertype for ordinal ranges with elements of type T with spacing(s) of type S. The steps should be always-exact multiples of oneunit, and T should be a "discrete" type, which cannot have values smaller than oneunit. For example, Integer or Date types would qualify, whereas Float64 would not (since this type can represent values smaller than oneunit(Float64). UnitRange, StepRange, and other types are subtypes of this.

AbstractUnitRange{T} <: OrdinalRange{T, T}

Supertype for ranges with a step size of oneunit(T) with elements of type T. UnitRange and other types are subtypes of this.

StepRange{T, S} <: OrdinalRange{T, S}

Ranges with elements of type T with spacing of type S. The step between each element is constant, and the range is defined in terms of a start and stop of type T and a step of type S. Neither T nor S should be floating point types. The syntax a:b:c with b > 1 and a, b, and c all integers creates a StepRange.

Examples

julia> collect(StepRange(1, Int8(2), 10))
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 3
 5
 7
 9

julia> typeof(StepRange(1, Int8(2), 10))
StepRange{Int64,Int8}

julia> typeof(1:3:6)
StepRange{Int64,Int64}

UnitRange{T<:Real}

A range parameterized by a start and stop of type T, filled with elements spaced by 1 from start until stop is exceeded. The syntax a:b with a and b both Integers creates a UnitRange.

Examples

julia> collect(UnitRange(2.3, 5.2))
3-element Array{Float64,1}:
 2.3
 3.3
 4.3

julia> typeof(1:10)
UnitRange{Int64}

LinRange{T}

A range with len linearly spaced elements between its start and stop. The size of the spacing is controlled by len, which must be an Int.

Examples

julia> LinRange(1.5, 5.5, 9)
9-element LinRange{Float64}:
 1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0,5.5

isempty(collection) -> Bool

Determine whether a collection is empty (has no elements).

Examples

julia> isempty([])
true

julia> isempty([1 2 3])
false

empty!(collection) -> collection

Remove all elements from a collection.

Examples

julia> A = Dict("a" => 1, "b" => 2)
Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "b" => 2
  "a" => 1

julia> empty!(A);

julia> A
Dict{String,Int64} with 0 entries

length(collection) -> Integer

Return the number of elements in the collection.

Use lastindex to get the last valid index of an indexable collection.

Examples

julia> length(1:5)
5

julia> length([1, 2, 3, 4])
4

julia> length([1 2; 3 4])
4

in(item, collection) -> Bool
∈(item, collection) -> Bool
∋(collection, item) -> Bool

Determine whether an item is in the given collection, in the sense that it is == to one of the values generated by iterating over the collection. Returns a Bool value, except if item is missing or collection contains missing but not item, in which case missing is returned (three-valued logic, matching the behavior of any and ==).

Some collections follow a slightly different definition. For example, Sets check whether the item isequal to one of the elements. Dicts look for key=>value pairs, and the key is compared using isequal. To test for the presence of a key in a dictionary, use haskey or k in keys(dict). For these collections, the result is always a Bool and never missing.

Examples

julia> a = 1:3:20
1:3:19

julia> 4 in a
true

julia> 5 in a
false

julia> missing in [1, 2]
missing

julia> 1 in [2, missing]
missing

julia> 1 in [1, missing]
true

julia> missing in Set([1, 2])
false

∉(item, collection) -> Bool
∌(collection, item) -> Bool

Negation of ∈ and ∋, i.e. checks that item is not in collection.

Examples

julia> 1 ∉ 2:4
true

julia> 1 ∉ 1:3
false

eltype(type)

Determine the type of the elements generated by iterating a collection of the given type. For dictionary types, this will be a Pair{KeyType,ValType}. The definition eltype(x) = eltype(typeof(x)) is provided for convenience so that instances can be passed instead of types. However the form that accepts a type argument should be defined for new types.

Examples

julia> eltype(fill(1f0, (2,2)))
Float32

julia> eltype(fill(0x1, (2,2)))
UInt8

indexin(a, b)

Return an array containing the first index in b for each value in a that is a member of b. The output array contains nothing wherever a is not a member of b.

Examples

julia> a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'd', 'a'];

julia> b = ['a', 'b', 'c'];

julia> indexin(a, b)
6-element Array{Union{Nothing, Int64},1}:

 1
 3
 4

unique(A::AbstractArray; dims::Int)

Return unique regions of A along dimension dims.

Examples

 false  false

[:, :, 2] =
  true   true
 false  false

julia> unique(A)
2-element Array{Bool,1}:
  true
 false

julia> unique(A, dims=2)
2×1×2 Array{Bool,3}:
[:, :, 1] =
  true
 false

[:, :, 2] =
  true
 false

[:, :, 1] =
  true   true
 false  false

unique!(f, A::AbstractVector)

Examples

julia> unique!(x -> x^2, [1, -1, 3, -3, 4])
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 3
 4

julia> unique!(n -> n%3, [5, 1, 8, 9, 3, 4, 10, 7, 2, 6])
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 5
 1
 9

julia> unique!(iseven, [2, 3, 5, 7, 9])
2-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 3

unique!(A::AbstractVector)

Remove duplicate items as determined by isequal, then return the modified A. unique! will return the elements of A in the order that they occur. If you do not care about the order of the returned data, then calling (sort!(A); unique!(A)) will be much more efficient as long as the elements of A can be sorted.

Examples

julia> unique!([1, 1, 1])
1-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1

julia> A = [7, 3, 2, 3, 7, 5];

julia> unique!(A)
4-element Array{Int64,1}:
 7
 3
 2
 5

julia> B = [7, 6, 42, 6, 7, 42];

julia> sort!(B);  # unique! is able to process sorted data much more efficiently.

julia> unique!(B)
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
  6
  7
 42

allunique(itr) -> Bool

Return true if all values from itr are distinct when compared with isequal.

Examples

julia> a = [1; 2; 3]
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 2
 3

julia> allunique([a, a])
false

reduce(op, itr; [init])

Reduce the given collection itr with the given binary operator op. If provided, the initial value init must be a neutral element for op that will be returned for empty collections. It is unspecified whether init is used for non-empty collections.

For empty collections, providing init will be necessary, except for some special cases (e.g. when op is one of +, *, max, min, &, |) when Julia can determine the neutral element of op.

Reductions for certain commonly-used operators may have special implementations, and should be used instead: maximum(itr), minimum(itr), sum(itr), prod(itr), any(itr), all(itr).

The associativity of the reduction is implementation dependent. This means that you can't use non-associative operations like - because it is undefined whether reduce(-,[1,2,3]) should be evaluated as (1-2)-3 or 1-(2-3). Use foldl or foldr instead for guaranteed left or right associativity.

Some operations accumulate error. Parallelism will be easier if the reduction can be executed in groups. Future versions of Julia might change the algorithm. Note that the elements are not reordered if you use an ordered collection.

Examples

julia> reduce(*, [2; 3; 4])
24

julia> reduce(*, [2; 3; 4]; init=-1)
-24

foldl(op, itr; [init])

Like reduce, but with guaranteed left associativity. If provided, the keyword argument init will be used exactly once. In general, it will be necessary to provide init to work with empty collections.

Examples

julia> foldl(=>, 1:4)
((1=>2)=>3) => 4

julia> foldl(=>, 1:4; init=0)
(((0=>1)=>2)=>3) => 4

foldr(op, itr; [init])

Like reduce, but with guaranteed right associativity. If provided, the keyword argument init will be used exactly once. In general, it will be necessary to provide init to work with empty collections.

Examples

julia> foldr(=>, 1:4)
1 => (2=>(3=>4))

julia> foldr(=>, 1:4; init=0)
1 => (2=>(3=>(4=>0)))

 CartesianIndex(1, 1)
 CartesianIndex(2, 1)

findmax(itr) -> (x, index)

Return the maximum element of the collection itr and its index. If there are multiple maximal elements, then the first one will be returned. If any data element is NaN, this element is returned. The result is in line with max.

The collection must not be empty.

sum(f, itr)

Sum the results of calling function f on each element of itr.

Examples

julia> sum(abs2, [2; 3; 4])

Note the important difference between sum(A) and reduce(+, A) for arrays with small integer eltype:

julia> sum(Int8[100, 28])
128

julia> reduce(+, Int8[100, 28])
-128

In the former case, the integers are widened to system word size and therefore the result is 128. In the latter case, no such widening happens and integer overflow results in -128.

576

prod(itr)

Returns the product of all elements of a collection.

The return type is Int for signed integers of less than system word size, and UInt for unsigned integers of less than system word size. For all other arguments, a common return type is found to which all arguments are promoted.

count(p, itr) -> Integer
count(itr) -> Integer

Count the number of elements in itr for which predicate p returns true. If p is omitted, counts the number of true elements in itr (which should be a collection of boolean values).

Examples

julia> count(i->(4<=i<=6), [2,3,4,5,6])
3

julia> count([true, false, true, true])
3

any(p, itr) -> Bool

Determine whether predicate p returns true for any elements of itr, returning true as soon as the first item in itr for which p returns true is encountered (short-circuiting).

If the input contains missing values, return missing if all non-missing values are false (or equivalently, if the input contains no true value), following three-valued logic.

Examples

julia> any(i->(4<=i<=6), [3,5,7])
true

julia> any(i -> (println(i); i > 3), 1:10)
1
2
3
4
true

julia> any(i -> i > 0, [1, missing])
true

julia> any(i -> i > 0, [-1, missing])
missing

julia> any(i -> i > 0, [-1, 0])
false

all(p, itr) -> Bool

Determine whether predicate p returns true for all elements of itr, returning false as soon as the first item in itr for which p returns false is encountered (short-circuiting).

If the input contains missing values, return missing if all non-missing values are true (or equivalently, if the input contains no false value), following three-valued logic.

Examples

julia> all(i->(4<=i<=6), [4,5,6])
true

julia> all(i -> (println(i); i < 3), 1:10)
1
2
3
false

julia> all(i -> i > 0, [1, missing])
missing

julia> all(i -> i > 0, [-1, missing])
false

julia> all(i -> i > 0, [1, 2])
true

foreach(f, c...) -> Nothing

Call function f on each element of iterable c. For multiple iterable arguments, f is called elementwise. foreach should be used instead of map when the results of f are not needed, for example in foreach(println, array).

Examples

julia> a = 1:3:7;

julia> foreach(x -> println(x^2), a)
1
16
49

map(f, c...) -> collection

Transform collection c by applying f to each element. For multiple collection arguments, apply f elementwise.

See also: mapslices

Examples

julia> map(x -> x * 2, [1, 2, 3])
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 4
 6

julia> map(+, [1, 2, 3], [10, 20, 30])
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 11
 22
 33

map!(function, destination, collection...)

Like map, but stores the result in destination rather than a new collection. destination must be at least as large as the first collection.

Examples

julia> a = zeros(3);

julia> map!(x -> x * 2, a, [1, 2, 3]);

julia> a
3-element Array{Float64,1}:
 2.0
 4.0
 6.0

mapreduce(f, op, itr; [init])

Apply function f to each element in itr, and then reduce the result using the binary function op. If provided, init must be a neutral element for op that will be returned for empty collections. It is unspecified whether init is used for non-empty collections. In general, it will be necessary to provide init to work with empty collections.

mapreduce is functionally equivalent to calling reduce(op, map(f, itr); init=init), but will in general execute faster since no intermediate collection needs to be created. See documentation for reduce and map.

Examples

julia> mapreduce(x->x^2, +, [1:3;]) # == 1 + 4 + 9
14

The associativity of the reduction is implementation-dependent. Additionally, some implementations may reuse the return value of f for elements that appear multiple times in itr. Use mapfoldl or mapfoldr instead for guaranteed left or right associativity and invocation of f for every value.

mapfoldl(f, op, itr; [init])

Like mapreduce, but with guaranteed left associativity, as in foldl. If provided, the keyword argument init will be used exactly once. In general, it will be necessary to provide init to work with empty collections.

mapfoldr(f, op, itr; [init])

Like mapreduce, but with guaranteed right associativity, as in foldr. If provided, the keyword argument init will be used exactly once. In general, it will be necessary to provide init to work with empty collections.

first(coll)

9

julia> last([1; 2; 3; 4])
4

  1 => "a"

julia> filter!(p->isodd(p.first), d)
Dict{Int64,String} with 2 entries:
  3 => "c"
  1 => "a"

replace(A, old_new::Pair...; [count::Integer])

Return a copy of collection A where, for each pair old=>new in old_new, all occurrences of old are replaced by new. Equality is determined using isequal. If count is specified, then replace at most count occurrences in total.

The element type of the result is chosen using promotion (see promote_type) based on the element type of A and on the types of the new values in pairs. If count is omitted and the element type of A is a Union, the element type of the result will not include singleton types which are replaced with values of a different type: for example, Union{T,Missing} will become T if missing is replaced.

See also replace!.

Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "b" => 2
  "a" => 1

julia> getindex(A, "a")
1

setindex!(collection, value, key...)

Store the given value at the given key or index within a collection. The syntax a[i,j,...] = x is converted by the compiler to (setindex!(a, x, i, j, ...); x).

firstindex(collection) -> Integer
firstindex(collection, d) -> Integer

Return the first index of collection. If d is given, return the first index of collection along dimension d.

Dict([itr])

Dict{K,V}() constructs a hash table with keys of type K and values of type V. Keys are compared with isequal and hashed with hash.

Given a single iterable argument, constructs a Dict whose key-value pairs are taken from 2-tuples (key,value) generated by the argument.

Examples

julia> Dict([("A", 1), ("B", 2)])
Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "B" => 2
  "A" => 1

Alternatively, a sequence of pair arguments may be passed.

julia> Dict("A"=>1, "B"=>2)
Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "B" => 2
  "A" => 1

IdDict([itr])

IdDict{K,V}() constructs a hash table using object-id as hash and === as equality with keys of type K and values of type V.

See Dict for further help.

WeakKeyDict([itr])

WeakKeyDict() constructs a hash table where the keys are weak references to objects, and thus may be garbage collected even when referenced in a hash table.

See Dict for further help. Note, unlike Dict, WeakKeyDict does not convert keys on insertion.

ImmutableDict

ImmutableDict is a Dictionary implemented as an immutable linked list, which is optimal for small dictionaries that are constructed over many individual insertions Note that it is not possible to remove a value, although it can be partially overridden and hidden by inserting a new value with the same key

ImmutableDict(KV::Pair)

Create a new entry in the Immutable Dictionary for the key => value pair

• use (key => value) in dict to see if this particular combination is in the properties set
• use get(dict, key, default) to retrieve the most recent value for a particular key

haskey(collection, key) -> Bool

julia> haskey(D, 'a')
true

julia> haskey(D, 'c')
false

get(collection, key, default)

julia> get(d, "c", 3)
3

get(f::Function, collection, key)

Return the value stored for the given key, or if no mapping for the key is present, return f(). Use get! to also store the default value in the dictionary.

This is intended to be called using do block syntax

get(dict, key) do
    # default value calculated here
    time()
end

get!(collection, key, default)

Return the value stored for the given key, or if no mapping for the key is present, store key => default, and return default.

Examples

julia> d = Dict("a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c"=>3);

julia> get!(d, "a", 5)
1

julia> get!(d, "d", 4)
4

julia> d
Dict{String,Int64} with 4 entries:
  "c" => 3
  "b" => 2
  "a" => 1
  "d" => 4

get!(f::Function, collection, key)

Return the value stored for the given key, or if no mapping for the key is present, store key => f(), and return f().

This is intended to be called using do block syntax:

get!(dict, key) do
    # default value calculated here
    time()
end

getkey(collection, key, default)

Return the key matching argument key if one exists in collection, otherwise return default.

Examples

julia> D = Dict('a'=>2, 'b'=>3)

  'a' => 2
  'b' => 3

julia> getkey(D, 'a', 1)
'a': ASCII/Unicode U+0061 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase)

julia> getkey(D, 'd', 'a')
'a': ASCII/Unicode U+0061 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase)

delete!(collection, key)

Delete the mapping for the given key in a collection, and return the collection.

Examples

julia> d = Dict("a"=>1, "b"=>2)
Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "b" => 2
  "a" => 1

julia> delete!(d, "b")
Dict{String,Int64} with 1 entry:
  "a" => 1

pop!(collection, key[, default])

Delete and return the mapping for key if it exists in collection, otherwise return default, or throw an error if default is not specified.

Examples

julia> d = Dict("a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c"=>3);

julia> pop!(d, "a")

julia> pop!(d, "d")
ERROR: KeyError: key "d" not found
Stacktrace:
[...]

julia> pop!(d, "e", 4)
4

keys(iterator)

For an iterator or collection that has keys and values (e.g. arrays and dictionaries), return an iterator over the keys.

values(iterator)

For an iterator or collection that has keys and values, return an iterator over the values. This function simply returns its argument by default, since the elements of a general iterator are normally considered its "values".

Examples

julia> d = Dict("a"=>1, "b"=>2);

julia> values(d)
Base.ValueIterator for a Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries. Values:
  2
  1

julia> values([2])
1-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2

values(a::AbstractDict)

Return an iterator over all values in a collection. collect(values(a)) returns an array of values. Since the values are stored internally in a hash table, the order in which they are returned may vary. But keys(a) and values(a) both iterate a and return the elements in the same order.

Examples

julia> D = Dict('a'=>2, 'b'=>3)
Dict{Char,Int64} with 2 entries:
  'a' => 2
  'b' => 3

julia> collect(values(D))
2-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 3

pairs(IndexLinear(), A)
pairs(IndexCartesian(), A)
pairs(IndexStyle(A), A)

An iterator that accesses each element of the array A, returning i => x, where i is the index for the element and x = A[i]. Identical to pairs(A), except that the style of index can be selected. Also similar to enumerate(A), except i will be a valid index for A, while enumerate always counts from 1 regardless of the indices of A.

Specifying IndexLinear() ensures that i will be an integer; specifying IndexCartesian() ensures that i will be a CartesianIndex; specifying IndexStyle(A) chooses whichever has been defined as the native indexing style for array A.

Mutation of the bounds of the underlying array will invalidate this iterator.

Examples

julia> A = ["a" "d"; "b" "e"; "c" "f"];

julia> for (index, value) in pairs(IndexStyle(A), A)
           println("$index $value")
       end
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e
6 f

julia> S = view(A, 1:2, :);

julia> for (index, value) in pairs(IndexStyle(S), S)
           println("$index $value")
       end
CartesianIndex(1, 1) a
CartesianIndex(2, 1) b
CartesianIndex(1, 2) d
CartesianIndex(2, 2) e

See also: IndexStyle, axes.

pairs(collection)

Return an iterator over key => value pairs for any collection that maps a set of keys to a set of values. This includes arrays, where the keys are the array indices.

merge(d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)

Construct a merged collection from the given collections. If necessary, the types of the resulting collection will be promoted to accommodate the types of the merged collections. If the same key is present in another collection, the value for that key will be the value it has in the last collection listed.

Examples

julia> a = Dict("foo" => 0.0, "bar" => 42.0)
Dict{String,Float64} with 2 entries:
  "bar" => 42.0
  "foo" => 0.0

julia> b = Dict("baz" => 17, "bar" => 4711)
Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "bar" => 4711
  "baz" => 17

julia> merge(a, b)
Dict{String,Float64} with 3 entries:
  "bar" => 4711.0
  "baz" => 17.0
  "foo" => 0.0

julia> merge(b, a)
Dict{String,Float64} with 3 entries:
  "bar" => 42.0
  "baz" => 17.0
  "foo" => 0.0

merge(combine, d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)

Construct a merged collection from the given collections. If necessary, the types of the resulting collection will be promoted to accommodate the types of the merged collections. Values with the same key will be combined using the combiner function.

Dict{String,Float64} with 2 entries:
  "bar" => 42.0
  "foo" => 0.0

julia> b = Dict("baz" => 17, "bar" => 4711)
Dict{String,Int64} with 2 entries:
  "bar" => 4711
  "baz" => 17

julia> merge(+, a, b)
Dict{String,Float64} with 3 entries:
  "bar" => 4753.0
  "baz" => 17.0
  "foo" => 0.0

merge(a::NamedTuple, bs::NamedTuple...)

Construct a new named tuple by merging two or more existing ones, in a left-associative manner. Merging proceeds left-to-right, between pairs of named tuples, and so the order of fields present in both the leftmost and rightmost named tuples take the same position as they are found in the leftmost named tuple. However, values are taken from matching fields in the rightmost named tuple that contains that field. Fields present in only the rightmost named tuple of a pair are appended at the end. A fallback is implemented for when only a single named tuple is supplied, with signature merge(a::NamedTuple).

Examples

julia> merge((a=1, b=2, c=3), (b=4, d=5))
(a = 1, b = 4, c = 3, d = 5)

julia> merge((a=1, b=2), (b=3, c=(d=1,)), (c=(d=2,),))
(a = 1, b = 3, c = (d = 2,))

merge(a::NamedTuple, iterable)

Interpret an iterable of key-value pairs as a named tuple, and perform a merge.

(a = 1, b = 4, c = 3, d = 5)

merge!(d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)

Update collection with pairs from the other collections. See also merge.

Examples

julia> d1 = Dict(1 => 2, 3 => 4);

julia> d2 = Dict(1 => 4, 4 => 5);

julia> merge!(d1, d2);

julia> d1
Dict{Int64,Int64} with 3 entries:
  4 => 5
  3 => 4
  1 => 4

merge!(combine, d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)

Update collection with pairs from the other collections. Values with the same key will be combined using the combiner function.

Examples

julia> d1 = Dict(1 => 2, 3 => 4);

julia> d2 = Dict(1 => 4, 4 => 5);

julia> merge!(+, d1, d2);

julia> d1
Dict{Int64,Int64} with 3 entries:
  4 => 5
  3 => 4
  1 => 6

julia> merge!(-, d1, d1);

julia> d1
Dict{Int64,Int64} with 3 entries:
  4 => 0
  3 => 0
  1 => 0

Set([itr])

Construct a Set of the values generated by the given iterable object, or an empty set. Should be used instead of BitSet for sparse integer sets, or for sets of arbitrary objects.

BitSet([itr])

Construct a sorted set of Ints generated by the given iterable object, or an empty set. Implemented as a bit string, and therefore designed for dense integer sets. If the set will be sparse (for example, holding a few very large integers), use Set instead.

union(s, itrs...)
∪(s, itrs...)

Examples

julia> union([1, 2], [3, 4])
4-element Array{Int64,1}:

julia> setdiff!(a, 1:2:6);

julia> a
Set([4])

symdiff(s, itrs...)

Construct the symmetric difference of elements in the passed in sets. When s is not an AbstractSet, the order is maintained. Note that in this case the multiplicity of elements matters.

symdiff!(s::Union{AbstractSet,AbstractVector}, itrs...)

Construct the symmetric difference of the passed in sets, and overwrite s with the result. When s is an array, the order is maintained. Note that in this case the multiplicity of elements matters.

intersect!(s::Union{AbstractSet,AbstractVector}, itrs...)

Intersect all passed in sets and overwrite s with the result. Maintain order with arrays.

issubset(a, b)
⊆(a,b)  -> Bool
⊇(b, a) -> Bool

Determine whether every element of a is also in b, using in.

Examples

julia> issubset([1, 2], [1, 2, 3])
true

julia> [1, 2, 3] ⊆ [1, 2]
false

julia> [1, 2, 3] ⊇ [1, 2]
true

⊈(a, b)
⊉(b, a)

Examples

julia> (1, 2) ⊈ (2, 3)
true

julia> (1, 2) ⊈ (1, 2, 3)
false

⊊(a, b)
⊋(b, a)

Determines if a is a subset of, but not equal to, b.

Examples

julia> (1, 2) ⊊ (1, 2, 3)
true

julia> (1, 2) ⊊ (1, 2)
false

issetequal(a, b)

Determine whether a and b have the same elements. Equivalent to a ⊆ b && b ⊆ a.

Examples

julia> issetequal([1, 2], [1, 2, 3])

deleteat!(a::Vector, inds)

Remove the items at the indices given by inds, and return the modified a. Subsequent items are shifted to fill the resulting gap.

inds can be either an iterator or a collection of sorted and unique integer indices, or a boolean vector of the same length as a with true indicating entries to delete.

Examples

julia> deleteat!([6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1], 1:2:5)

To insert replacement before an index n without removing any items, use splice!(collection, n:n-1, replacement).

splice!(a::Vector, range, [replacement]) -> items

Remove items in the specified index range, and return a collection containing the removed items. Subsequent items are shifted left to fill the resulting gap. If specified, replacement values from an ordered collection will be spliced in place of the removed items.

To insert replacement before an index n without removing any items, use splice!(collection, n:n-1, replacement).

Pair(x, y)
x => y

Construct a Pair object with type Pair{typeof(x), typeof(y)}. The elements are stored in the fields first and second. They can also be accessed via iteration.

See also: Dict

Examples

julia> p = "foo" => 7
"foo" => 7

julia> typeof(p)
Pair{String,Int64}

julia> p.first
"foo"
