Overview

A SortedSet is a collection of ordered values with no duplicates. Unlike a Vector, in which items can appear in any arbitrary order, a SortedSet always keeps items either in their natural order, or in an order defined by a comparator block which is provided at initialization time.

SortedSet uses ‘#<=>` (or its comparator block) to determine which items are equivalent. If the comparator indicates that an existing item and a new item are equal, any attempt to insert the new item will have no effect.

This means that all the items inserted into any one SortedSet must all be comparable. For example, you cannot put ‘String`s and `Integer`s in the same SortedSet. This is unlike Set, which can store items of any type, as long as they all support #hash and #eql?.

A SortedSet can be created in either of the following ways:

Hamster::SortedSet.new([1, 2, 3]) # any Enumerable can be used to initialize
Hamster::SortedSet['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']

Or if you want to use a custom ordering:

Hamster::SortedSet.new([1,2,3]) { |a, b| -a <=> -b }
Hamster::SortedSet.new([1, 2, 3]) { |num| -num }

SortedSet can use a 2-parameter block which returns 0, 1, or -1 as a comparator (like ‘Array#sort`), or use a 1-parameter block to derive sort keys (like `Array#sort_by`) which will be compared using `#<=>`.

Like all Hamster collections, ‘SortedSet`s are immutable. Any operation which you might expect to “modify” a SortedSet will actually return a new collection and leave the existing one unchanged.

SortedSet supports the same basic set-theoretic operations as Set, including #union, #intersection, #difference, and #exclusion, as well as #subset?, #superset?, and so on. Unlike Set, it does not define comparison operators like ‘#>` or `#<` as aliases for the superset/subset predicates. Instead, these comparison operators do a item-by-item comparison between the SortedSet and another sequential collection. (See `Array#<=>` for details.)

Additionally, since ‘SortedSet`s are ordered, they also support indexed retrieval of items using #at or #[]. Like Vector, negative indices count back from the end of the SortedSet.

Getting the #max or #min item from a SortedSet, as defined by its comparator, is a constant time operation.

#find_index(obj) ⇒ Integer #find_index {|element| ... } ⇒ Integer Also known as: index

Find the index of a given object or an element that satisfies the given block.

Overloads:

  • #find_index(obj) ⇒ Integer

    Return the index of the first object in this set which is equal to obj. Rather than using ‘#==`, we use `#<=>` (or our comparator block) for comparisons. This means we can find the index in `O(log N)` time, rather than `O(N)`.

    Examples:

    s = Hamster::SortedSet[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
s.find_index(8)  # => 3

    Parameters:

    • obj (Object) —

      The object to search for

  • #find_index {|element| ... } ⇒ Integer

    Return the index of the first object in this sorted set for which the block returns to true. This takes ‘O(N)` time.

    Examples:

    s = Hamster::SortedSet[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
s.find_index { |e| e > 7 }  # => 3

    Yields:

    • (element) —

      An element in the sorted set

    Yield Returns:

    • (Boolean) —

      True if this is element matches

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The index of the object, or nil if not found.
