This module implements the set data structure, given a total ordering function over the set elements. All operations over sets are purely applicative (no side-effects). The implementation uses balanced binary trees, and is therefore reasonably efficient: insertion and membership take time logarithmic in the size of the set, for instance. The [Make] functor constructs implementations for any type, given a [compare] function. For instance: {[ module IntPairs = struct type t = int * int let compare (x0,y0) (x1,y1) = match Pervasives.compare x0 x1 with 0 -> Pervasives.compare y0 y1 | c -> c end module PairsSet = Set.Make(IntPairs) let m = PairsSet.(empty |> add (2,3) |> add (5,7) |> add (11,13)) ]} This creates a new module [PairsSet], with a new type [PairsSet.t] of sets of [int * int]. *) module type OrderedType = sig type t (** The type of the set elements. *) val compare : t -> t -> int (** A total ordering function over the set elements. This is a two-argument function [f] such that [f e1 e2] is zero if the elements [e1] and [e2] are equal, [f e1 e2] is strictly negative if [e1] is smaller than [e2], and [f e1 e2] is strictly positive if [e1] is greater than [e2]. Example: a suitable ordering function is the generic structural comparison function {!Pervasives.compare}. *) end (** Input signature of the functor {!Set.Make}. *) module type S = sig type elt (** The type of the set elements. *) type t (** The type of sets. *) val empty: t (** The empty set. *) val is_empty: t -> bool (** Test whether a set is empty or not. *) val mem: elt -> t -> bool (** [mem x s] tests whether [x] belongs to the set [s]. *) val add: elt -> t -> t (** [add x s] returns a set containing all elements of [s], plus [x]. If [x] was already in [s], [s] is returned unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to [s]). @before 4.03 Physical equality was not ensured. *) val singleton: elt -> t (** [singleton x] returns the one-element set containing only [x]. *) val remove: elt -> t -> t (** [remove x s] returns a set containing all elements of [s], except [x].

[f aN], where [a0],[a1]...[aN] are the elements of [s]. The elements are passed to [f] in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the elements. If no element of [s] is changed by [f], [s] is returned unchanged. (If each output of [f] is physically equal to its input, the returned set is physically equal to [s].) *) val fold: (elt -> 'a -> 'a) -> t -> 'a -> 'a (** [fold f s a] computes [(f xN ... (f x2 (f x1 a))...)], where [x1 ... xN] are the elements of [s], in increasing order. *) val for_all: (elt -> bool) -> t -> bool (** [for_all p s] checks if all elements of the set satisfy the predicate [p]. *) val exists: (elt -> bool) -> t -> bool (** [exists p s] checks if at least one element of the set satisfies the predicate [p]. *) val filter: (elt -> bool) -> t -> t (** [filter p s] returns the set of all elements in [s] that satisfy predicate [p].
