Set Operators

The document explains various set operators including union, intersection, difference, and symmetric difference using sets A and B. It also covers additional operators for checking subset, superset, equality, and membership within sets. Examples are provided to illustrate each operator's functionality.

Set Operators

• The operators are given in the right hand side table


• Here we are taking the following sets and performing di erent set operators.

s = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 }

A = { 1,2,3,5,7 } B = { 5,7,9,10,11 }

• Union means combining both sets and removing duplicates

C=A|B => A | B = { 1,2,3,5,7,9,10,11 }

C - Taking result of A , B in var C


| - pipe / union symbol

• Intersection means giving common elements

C=A&B => A & B = { 5,7 }

C - Taking result of A , B in var C


& - Intersection symbol

• Di erence of A - B means take all elements of A except those common in B

C=A-B => A - B = { 1,2,3 }

• Symmetric Di erence means take all elements of A and B except those common to both sets

C=A^B => A ^ B = { 1,2,3,9,10,11 }

C - Taking result of A , B in var C


^ - Symmetric di erence

• Now let us check other operators.


• < , > are useful for checking proper subset (or) proper superset
• <= ,>= they consider equal sets as well while checking subset and superset
• == they check if two sets are equal or not
• != they check if two sets are not equal

#11 Is in B but not in S so that’s why false

• in , not in are also know as membership operators


• They check if an element is present in a set or not and return boolean type as result.

Note :

• If you store the result of A | B in A, then the result will be go in A itself. So, You can write this as

A | B ( same as A = A | B )
A & B ( same as A = A & B )
A - B ( same as A = A - B)
