tuple_symmdifftuple_symmdiffTupleSymmdiffTupleSymmdiff (Operator)

Name

tuple_symmdifftuple_symmdiffTupleSymmdiffTupleSymmdiff — Compute the symmetric difference set of two input tuples.

Signature

tuple_symmdiff( : : Set1, Set2 : SymmDiff)

tuple_symmdifftuple_symmdiffTupleSymmdiffTupleSymmdiffTupleSymmdiff returns the symmetric difference set from Set1Set1Set1Set1set1 and Set2Set2Set2Set2set2 in SymmDiffSymmDiffSymmDiffSymmDiffsymmDiff. For example, if Set1Set1Set1Set1set1 contains the values [0,1,3,3,5] and Set2Set2Set2Set2set2 contains the values [2,3,5,10], the output SymmDiffSymmDiffSymmDiffSymmDiffsymmDiff is [0,1,2,10]. The operator also allows mixed types of elements in the input tuples. However, the elements with different types will be considered as different elements, i.e. 1.0 and 1 are different. Also, this means, if Set1Set1Set1Set1set1 and Set2Set2Set2Set2set2 have different types of elements, their symmetric difference set could be the union. For example, if Set1Set1Set1Set1set1 contains the values [2,5,3] and Set2Set2Set2Set2set2 contains the values [2.0,5.0], the output SymmDiffSymmDiffSymmDiffSymmDiffsymmDiff is [2,5,3,2.0,5.0].

Exception: Empty input tuples

If both of the input tuples are empty, the operator returns an empty tuple. If one of the input tuples is empty and the other is not, the output corresponds to the input tuple that is not empty.

HDevelop In-line Operation

HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_symmdifftuple_symmdiffTupleSymmdiffTupleSymmdiffTupleSymmdiff, which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:

SymmDiff := symmdiff(Set1, Set2)

Execution Information

Multithreading type: independent (runs in parallel even with exclusive operators).
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
Automatically parallelized on internal data level.
