Usage:insert(Set1,Element,Set2)
It is true when Set2 is Set1 with Element inserted in it, preserving the order.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Element is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Set2 is a free variable.
Usage:ord_delete(Set0,X,Set)
It succeeds if Set is Set0 without element X.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set0 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)X is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Set is a free variable.
Usage:ord_member(X,Set)
It succeeds if X is member of Set.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)X is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set is currently a term which is not a free variable.
Usage:ord_test_member(Set,X,Result)
If X is member of Set then Result=yes. Otherwise Result=no.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)X is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Result is a free variable.
Usage:ord_subtract(Set1,Set2,Difference)
It is true when Difference contains all and only the elements of Set1 which are not also in Set2.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
Usage:ord_intersection(Set1,Set2,Intersection)
It is true when Intersection is the ordered representation of Set1 and Set2, provided that Set1 and Set2 are ordered lists.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
Usage:ord_intersection_diff(Set1,Set2,Intersect,NotIntersect)
Intersect contains those elements which are both in Set1 and Set2, and NotIntersect those which are in Set1 but not in Set2.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Intersect is a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)NotIntersect is a free variable.
Usage:ord_intersect(Xs,Ys)
Succeeds when the two ordered lists have at least one element in common.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Xs is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Ys is currently a term which is not a free variable.
Usage:ord_subset(Xs,Ys)
Succeeds when every element of Xs appears in Ys.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Xs is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Ys is currently a term which is not a free variable.
Usage:ord_subset_diff(Set1,Set2,Difference)
It succeeds when every element of Set1 appears in Set2 and Difference has the elements of Set2 which are not in Set1.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Difference is a free variable.
Usage:ord_union(Set1,Set2,Union)
It is true when Union is the union of Set1 and Set2. When some element occurs in both sets, Union retains only one copy.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
Usage:ord_union_diff(Set1,Set2,Union,Difference)
It succeeds when Union is the union of Set1 and Set2, and Difference is Set2 set-minus Set1.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Union is a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Difference is a free variable.
Usage:ord_union_symdiff(Set1,Set2,Union,Diff)
It is true when Diff is the symmetric difference of Set1 and Set2, and Union is the union of Set1 and Set2.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Union is a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Diff is a free variable.
Usage:ord_union_change(Set1,Set2,Union)
Union is the union of Set1 and Set2 and Union is different from Set2.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:nonvar/1)Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
(term_typing:var/1)Union is a free variable.
Usage:merge(Set1,Set2,Union)
See ord_union/3.
- The following properties should hold at call time:
