NAME:different
PURPOSE:calcule les elements differents de 2 matrices D'ENTIERS POSITIFS
CATEGORY:calcule sur les matrices
CALLING SEQUENCE:res=different(a,b)
INPUTS:a et b:arrays of positive integers, which need
not be sorted. Duplicate elements are ignored, as they have no
effect on the result
KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
OUTPUTS:tableau
COMMON BLOCKS:
SIDE EFFECTS:
The empty set is denoted by an array with the first element equal to
-1.
RESTRICTIONS:
These functions will not be efficient on sparse sets with wide
ranges, as they trade memory for efficiency. The HISTOGRAM function
is used, which creates arrays of size equal to the range of the
resulting set.
EXAMPLE:
a = [2,4,6,8]
b = [6,1,3,2]
different(a,b) = [ 4, 8] ; Elements in A but not in B
