View Source ordsets (stdlib v6.0)
Functions for manipulating sets as ordered lists.
Sets are collections of elements with no duplicate elements. An ordset is a
representation of a set, where an ordered list is used to store the elements of
the set. An ordered list is more efficient than an unordered list. Elements are
ordered according to the Erlang term order.
This module provides the same interface as the sets module but with a
defined representation. One difference is that while sets considers two
elements as different if they do not match (=:=), this module considers two
elements as different if and only if they do not compare equal (==).
See the Compatibility Section in the sets module
for more information about the compatibility of the different implementations of
sets in the Standard Library.

Summary
Functions
Returns a new ordered set formed from Ordset1 with Element inserted.
Returns Ordset1, but with Element removed.
Filters elements in Ordset1 with boolean function Pred.
Filters and maps elements in Ordset1 with function Fun.
Folds Function over every element in Ordset and returns the final value of
the accumulator.
Returns an ordered set of the elements in List.
Returns the intersection of the non-empty list of sets.
Returns the intersection of Ordset1 and Ordset2.
Returns true if Ordset1 and Ordset2 are disjoint (have no elements in
common), otherwise false.
Returns true if Element is an element of Ordset, otherwise false.
Returns true if Ordset is an empty set, otherwise false.
Returns true if Ordset1 and Ordset2 are equal, that is when every element
of one set is also a member of the respective other set, otherwise false.
Returns true if Ordset is an ordered set of elements, otherwise false.
This function will return true for any ordered list, even when not constructed
by the functions in this module.
