set6 (version 0.2.4)

SetWrapper: Abstract SetWrapper Class

Description

This class should not be constructed directly. Parent class to SetWrappers.

Super class

set6::Set -> SetWrapper

Active bindings

wrappedSets

Returns the list of Sets that are wrapped in the given wrapper.

Methods

Public methods

• SetWrapper$new()

• SetWrapper$equals()

• SetWrapper$isSubset()

• SetWrapper$clone()

• set6::Set$add()

• set6::Set$contains()

• set6::Set$multiplicity()

Method new()

Create a new SetWrapper object. It is not recommended to construct this class directly.

Usage

SetWrapper$new(
  setlist,
  lower = NULL,
  upper = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  class = NULL,
  cardinality
)

Arguments

setlist

List of Sets to wrap.

lower

Set. Lower bound of wrapper.

upper

Set. Upper bound of wrapper.

type

character. Closure type of wrapper.

class

character. Ignored.

cardinality

character or integer. Cardinality of wrapper.

Returns

A new SetWrapper object.

Method equals()

Tests if x is equal to self.

Usage

SetWrapper$equals(x, all = FALSE)

Arguments

x

Set or vector of Sets.

x

any. Object or vector of objects to test.

all

logical. If FALSE tests each x separately. Otherwise returns TRUE only if all x pass test.

all

logical. If FALSE tests each x separately. Otherwise returns TRUE only if all x pass test.

Returns

If all == TRUE then returns TRUE if all x are equal to self, otherwise FALSE. If all == FALSE returns a vector of logicals corresponding to the length of x, representing if each is equal to self.

Method isSubset()

Tests if x is a (proper) subset of self.

Usage

SetWrapper$isSubset(x, proper = FALSE, all = FALSE)

Arguments

x

Set or vector of Sets.

x

any. Object or vector of objects to test.

proper

logical. If TRUE tests for proper subsets.

all

logical. If FALSE tests each x separately. Otherwise returns TRUE only if all x pass test.

all

logical. If FALSE tests each x separately. Otherwise returns TRUE only if all x pass test.

Returns

If all == TRUE then returns TRUE if all x are (proper) subsets of self, otherwise FALSE. If all == FALSE returns a vector of logicals corresponding to the length of x, representing if each is a (proper) subset of self.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

SetWrapper$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Details

Wrappers in set6 are utilised to facilitate lazy evaluation and symbolic representation. Each operation has an associated wrapper that will be returned if simplify = FALSE or if the result would be too complex to return as a simple Set. Wrappers have an identical interface to Set. Their primary advantage lies in a neat representation of any set composition (the result of an operation) and the ability to query the set contents without ever directly evaluating the set elements.
