In Octave a set is represented as a vector of numbers. @DOCSTRING(create_set) @DOCSTRING(unique) @menu * Set Operations:: @end menu @node Set Operations @section Set Operations Octave supports the basic set operations. That is, Octave can compute the union, intersection, complement, and difference of two sets. Octave also supports the @emph{Exclusive Or} set operation, and membership determination. The functions for set operations all work in pretty much the same way. As an example, assume that @code{x} and @code{y} contains two sets, then @example union(x, y) @end example @noindent computes the union of the two sets. @DOCSTRING(ismember) @DOCSTRING(union) @DOCSTRING(intersect) @DOCSTRING(complement) @DOCSTRING(setdiff) @DOCSTRING(setxor)
