This library provides the Set class, which implements a collection of unordered values with no duplicates. It is a hybrid of Arrayâs intuitive inter-operation facilities and Hashâs fast lookup.
The method to_set
is added to Enumerable
for convenience.
Set is easy to use with Enumerable
objects (implementing each
). Most of the initializer methods and binary operators accept generic Enumerable
objects besides sets and arrays. An Enumerable
object can be converted to Set using the to_set
method.
Set uses Hash
as storage, so you must note the following points:
Equality of elements is determined according to Object#eql?
and Object#hash
. Use Set#compare_by_identity
to make a set compare its elements by their identity.
Set assumes that the identity of each element does not change while it is stored. Modifying an element of a set will render the set to an unreliable state.
When a string is to be stored, a frozen copy of the string is stored instead unless the original string is already frozen.
The comparison operators <
, >
, <=
, and >=
are implemented as shorthand for the {proper_,}{subset?,superset?} methods. The <=>
operator reflects this order, or return nil
for sets that both have distinct elements ({x, y}
vs. {x, z}
for example).
require 'set' s1 = Set[1, 2] s2 = [1, 2].to_set s1 == s2 s1.add("foo") s1.merge([2, 6]) s1.subset?(s2) s2.subset?(s1)

First, whatâs elsewhere. Class Set:
Inherits from class Object.
Includes module Enumerable, which provides dozens of additional methods.
In particular, class Set does not have many methods of its own for fetching or for iterating. Instead, it relies on those in Enumerable.
Here, class Set provides methods that are useful for:
::[]
: Returns a new set containing the given objects.
::new
: Returns a new set containing either the given objects (if no block given) or the return values from the called block (if a block given).

and +
): Returns a new set containing all elements from self
and all elements from a given enumerable (no duplicates).
& (aliased as intersection
): Returns a new set containing all elements common to self
and a given enumerable.
- (aliased as difference
): Returns a copy of self
with all elements in a given enumerable removed.
^: Returns a new set containing all elements from self
and a given enumerable except those common to both.
<=>: Returns -1, 0, or 1 as self
is less than, equal to, or greater than a given object.
==: Returns whether self
and a given enumerable are equal, as determined by Object#eql?
.
compare_by_identity?
: Returns whether the set considers only identity when comparing elements.
empty?
: Returns whether the set has no elements.

and ===
): Returns whether a given object is an element in the set.

(aliased as <): Returns whether a given enumerable is a proper subset of the set.
superset?
(aliased as >=]): Returns whether a given enumerable is a superset of the set.
proper_superset?
(aliased as >): Returns whether a given enumerable is a proper superset of the set.
disjoint?
: Returns true
if the set and a given enumerable have no common elements, false
otherwise.
intersect?
: Returns true
if the set and a given enumerable: have any common elements, false
otherwise.
compare_by_identity?
: Returns whether the set considers only identity when comparing elements.
add
(aliased as <<
): Adds a given object to the set; returns self
.
add?
: If the given object is not an element in the set, adds it and returns self
; otherwise, returns nil
.
