ArraySymmetricDifference
This is Filter Equivalent. This function may be present in generated code, but should not be used in hand-written code.
Returns an array of elements contained in odd number of the input arrays (without duplicates).
Syntax
void avl::ArraySymmetricDifference ( const atl::Array<Type>& inArray1, const atl::Array<Type>& inArray2, const atl::Optional<atl::Array<Type> >& inArray3, const atl::Optional<atl::Array<Type> >& inArray4, atl::Array<Type>& outArray )
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
inArray1 | const Array<Type>& | First input array | |
|
inArray2 | const Array<Type>& | Second input array | |
|
inArray3 | const Optional<Array<Type> >& | NIL | Third input array (optional) |
|
inArray4 | const Optional<Array<Type> >& | NIL | Fourth input array (optional) |
 |
outArray | Array<Type>& | Symmetric difference of the input arrays |
Description
The operation computes an array of elements contained in odd number the input arrays. The operation treats arrays as if those were sets, i.e., disregards the repeated elements in the input arrays and computes the result without repeating elements.
Examples
|
|
|
inArray1 = {1,1,1,2,2,3} inArray2 = {1,1,4} |
outArray = {2,3,4} |
Remarks
Please note, that this filter can be concretized only with basic data types and structures of such types. Concretizing the filter with a non-comparable complex data type, such as Image or Region, will raise a Domain Error.
Using this filter to compare data of type Real (or structures with this type) may be tricky. It is caused by the fact that very small (unnoticeable) differences in values of such types may lead to unpredictable negative results in comparison of these values.
Errors
Non-comparable complex data type "TypeName" used in ArraySymmetricDifference.
