NAME

Set::Intersection - provides an API to get intersection (of set theory) of ARRAYs.

VERSION

Version 0.04;

SYNOPSIS

  use Set::Intersection;

  my @arr1 = qw/3 1 4 1 5 9/;
  my @arr2 = qw/1 7 3 2 0 5/;
  my @intersection = get_intersection(\@arr1, \@arr2);
  # got (1, 3, 5) in @intersection

EXPORT

get_intersection

FUNCTIONS

get_intersection()

    get_intersection([\%options,] [\@ARRAY[, \@ARRAY[, ...]]]);

Returns intersection set (as LIST) of all ARRAYs.

  • The result LIST is uniqued and unordered.

  • If no ARRAYs are passed, the result LIST is empty.

  • If only one ARRAY is passed, the result LIST is same as that passed. (In this case, elements won't be uniqued nor will the order bechanged.)

  • If you have undef in any LIST, you'll be warned.

%options

    -preordered => BOOLEAN

To reduce calculation time, get_intersection() sorts ARRAYs by their length before calculating intersections.

This option tells that order of ARRAYs are well done, and calculation of intersection will be based on left most ARRAY.
