Utilities
result = cgSetDifference(set_a, set_b [, COUNT=integer] [, NORESULT=NORESULT] [, POSITIONS=integer] [, /SUCCESS])
This function is used to find the difference between two sets of integers. In other words, the function will find the values that are in Set A but are missing in Set B.
Return value
A vector of values that are found in set_a but are missing in set_b.
Parameters
- set_a in required type=integer
A vector of integers.
- set_b in required type=integer
A vector of integers.
Keywords
- COUNT out optional type=integer
This keyword contains the number of elements in the difference vector.
- NORESULT in optional
Set this keyword to a value that will be returned from the function if no difference between the two sets of numbers is found. By default, set_a.
- POSITIONS out optional type=integer
An output keyword that will return the positions or locations in A of the values not found in B.
- SUCCESS out optional type=boolean
This keyword is set to 1 if an difference was found, and to 0 otherwise.
Examples
Here is how to use this program:
IDL> set_a = [1,2,3,4,5]
IDL> set_b = [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]
IDL> Print, cgSetDifference(set_a, set_b)
