intersect

intersect(s1,s2...) ∩(s1,s2)

Construct the intersection of two or more sets. Maintains order and multiplicity of the first argument for arrays and ranges.

Examples

julia> set1 = Set(3, 4, 5, 6) 
       set2 = Set(1, 3, 4)
       intersect(set1, set2)
Set{Int64}({4,3})
julia> set1 = Set(3, 4, 5, 6) 
       set2 = Set(1, 2)
       intersect(set1, set2) 
Set{Int64}({})
julia> a = Set([0:3:30]);   # table of 3

julia> b = Set([0:5:50]);   # table of 5

julia> intersect(a, b)
Set{Int64}({0,15,30})
  1. Find the intersection of two arrays:

    julia> arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    julia> arr2 = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
    julia> intersect(arr1, arr2)
    2-element Array{Int64,1}:
    4
    5

    This example finds the common elements between arr1 and arr2 using the intersect function.

  2. Find the intersection of multiple arrays:

    julia> arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    julia> arr2 = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
    julia> arr3 = [3, 4, 5, 9, 10];
    julia> intersect(arr1, arr2, arr3)
    2-element Array{Int64,1}:
    4
    5

    In this example, the intersect function is used to find the common elements among arr1, arr2, and arr3.

  3. Intersect two sets with different element types:
    julia> set1 = Set([1, 2, 3, 4]);
    julia> set2 = Set([3.0, 4.0, 5.0]);
    julia> intersect(set1, set2)
    Set{Float64} with 2 elements:
    3.0
    4.0

    The intersect function can also be used to find the common elements between sets of different element types.

Common mistake example:

julia> intersect([1, 2, 3], (3, 4, 5))
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching intersect(::Array{Int64,1}, ::Tuple{Int64,Int64,Int64})

In this example, the intersect function is used with an array and a tuple. However, the intersect function does not support intersection between arrays and tuples. Make sure to provide valid arguments to the intersect function that are compatible with each other.
