The Set class

(No version information available, might only be in Git)

Introduction

A Set is a sequence of unique values. This implementation uses the same hash table as Ds\Map, where values are used as keys and the mapped value is ignored.

Strengths

  • Values can be any type, including objects.
  • Supports array syntax (square brackets).
  • Insertion order is preserved.
  • Automatically frees allocated memory when its size drops low enough.
  • add(), remove() and contains() are all O(1).

Weaknesses

  • Doesn’t support push(), pop(), insert(), shift(), or unshift().
  • get() is O(n) if there are deleted values in the buffer before the accessed index, O(1) otherwise.
