math.set

Class to work with sets of real numbers.

Version

0.2.0

Install

npm install math.set

Usage

var MSet = require('math.set')

var set = new MSet('(0, 2] U {6, 7, 8}')

set.isEmpty() // false
set.contains(4) // false
set.contains(6) // true
set.contains('[1, 2)') // true
set.union('(2, 7)') // new MSet('(0, 7] U {8}')
set.union('(8, 9])') // new MSet('(0, 2] U {6, 7} U [8, 9]')

API

Set

constructor(set)

Constructor creates an instance of Set class. it throws an error if set is not SetCastable

Set#isEmpty()

It returns true or false if set is empty or not.

Example:

var MSet = require('math.set')

var set = new MSet('[2, 4)')

set.isEmpty() // returns false

Set#contains(set)

It returns true or false if instance contains the set passed by parameter. contains throws an exception if set is not SetCastable

Example:

var MSet = require('math.set')

var set = new MSet('[1, 3) U [4, 8]')

set.contains('(1, 2) U [4, 7)') // returns true
set.contains(new MSet('{3, 7}')) // returns false

Set#union(...sets)

It returns a set that represents the union of sets passed by parameter. It throws an error if some parameter is not SetCastable.

var MSet = require('math.set')

var set = new MSet('[1, 3) U (3, 4]')

set.union('(2, 4) U {5}', '{5} U (6, 7)')
// returns new MSet('[1, 4] U {5} (6, 7)')

Set.union(...sets)

Set also has static method that calculates the union of sets in the same way as union method.

var MSet = require('math.set')

MSet.union('[1, 3) U (3, 4]', '(2, 4) U {5}', '{5} U (6, 7)')
// returns new MSet('[1, 4] U {5} (6, 7)')

SetCastable

A value is SetCastable if it is one of this list of types:

• instance of Set.
• string that parses to set ('[2, 5] U {4}', '[0, 5) U {-2, 8, 12.5}', etc).
• IntervalCastable
• Array of IntervalCastable

Exported functions

rawSet(set)

It converts Set instance to array of data structure interval defined in math.interval-utils package. It is posible to import this function thus:

var rawSet = require('math.interval/src/raw-set.js')

cast(set)

It converts SetCastable value to array of interval data structure interval defined in math.interval-utils package. It is posible to import this function thus:

var rawSet = require('math.set/src/cast.js')
