Mathematical Theory Sets Set Defined Collection Distinct Items Type Programming Languages Q37211199

In the mathematical theory of sets, a set is defined as acollection of distinct items of the same type.  In someprogramming languages, sets are built-in data type; unfortunately,this is not the case in C++.  However, we can simulate aset using a one-dimensional array.

Some operations can be performed on sets.  We willconsider only three of them:  union, intersection, anddifference.  These are binary operations requiring twosets as operands.  The union of two sets, A and B, is aset that contains elements that are in A and B. The intersection oftwo sets, A and B, is a set that contains elements common to both Aand B. Finally, the difference
