Set::Infinite::Basic 0.61

Set::Infinite::Basic is a Perl module with sets of intervals. SYNOPSIS use Set::Infinite::Basic; $set = Set::Infinite::Basic->new(1,2); # [1..2] print $set->union(5,6); # [1..2],[5..6] Set::Infinite::Basic is a Set Theory module for infinite sets. It works on reals, integers, and objects. This module does not support recurrences. Recurrences are implemented in Set::Infinite. METHODS empty_set Creates an empty_set. If called from an existing set, the empty set inherits the "type" and "density" characteristics. universal_set Creates a set containing "all" possible elements. If called from an existing set, the universal set inherits the "type" and "density" characteristics. until Extends a set until another: 0,5,7 -> until 2,6,10 gives [0..2), [5..6), [7..10) Note: this function is still experimental. copy clone Makes a new object from the objects data. Mode functions: $set = $set->real; $set = $set->integer; Logic functions: $logic = $set->intersects($b); $logic = $set->contains($b); $logic = $set->is_null; # also called "is_empty" Set functions: $set = $set->union($b); $set = $set->intersection($b); $set = $set->complement; $set = $set->complement($b); # can also be called "minus" or "difference" $set = $set->simmetric_difference( $b ); $set = $set->span; result is (min .. max) Scalar functions: $i = $set->min; $i = $set->max; $i = $set->size; $i = $set->count; # number of spans Overloaded Perl functions: print sort, <=> Global functions: separators(@i) chooses the interval separators. default are [ ] ( ) .. ,. INFINITY returns an Infinity number. NEG_INFINITY returns a -Infinity number. iterate ( sub { } ) Iterates over a subroutine. Returns the union of partial results. first In scalar context returns the first interval of a set. In list context returns the first interval of a set, and the tail. Works in unbounded sets type($i) chooses an object data type. default is none (a normal perl SCALAR). examples: type(Math::BigFloat); type(Math::BigInt); type(Set::Infinite::Date); See notes on Set::Infinite::Date below. tolerance(0) defaults to real sets (default) tolerance(1) defaults to integer sets real defaults to real sets (default) integer defaults to integer sets Internal functions: $set->fixtype; $set->numeric;.
