// Package mapset implements a simple and generic set collection.
// Items stored within it are unordered and unique. It supports
// typical set operations: membership testing, intersection, union,
// difference, symmetric difference and cloning.
//
// Package mapset provides two implementations. The default
// implementation is safe for concurrent access. There is a non-threadsafe
// implementation which is slightly more performant.
package mapset

type Set interface {
	// Adds an element to the set. Returns whether
	// the item was added.
	Add(i interface{}) bool

	// Returns the number of elements in the set.
	Cardinality() int

	// Removes all elements from the set, leaving
	// the emtpy set.
	Clear()

	// Returns a clone of the set using the same
	// implementation, duplicating all keys.
	Clone() Set

	// Returns whether the given items
	// are all in the set.
	Contains(i ...interface{}) bool

	// Returns the difference between this set
	// and other. The returned set will contain
	// all elements of this set that are not also
	// elements of other.
	//
	// Note that the argument to Difference
	// must be of the same type as the receiver
	// of the method. Otherwise, Difference will
	// panic.
	Difference(other Set) Set

	// Determines if two sets are equal to each
	// other. If they have the same cardinality
	// and contain the same elements, they are
	// considered equal. The order in which
	// the elements were added is irrelevant.
	//
	// Note that the argument to Equal must be
	// of the same type as the receiver of the
	// method. Otherwise, Equal will panic.

	// of the method. Otherwise, Intersect will

	// Note that the argument to IsSubset
	// must be of the same type as the receiver
	// of the method. Otherwise, IsSubset will
	// panic.

	// Determines if every element in this set is in
	// the other set.
	//
	// Note that the argument to IsSuperset
	// must be of the same type as the receiver
	// of the method. Otherwise, IsSuperset will
	// panic.
	IsSuperset(other Set) bool

	// Returns a channel of elements that you can
	// range over.
	Iter() <-chan interface{}

	// Remove a single element from the set.
	Remove(i interface{})

	// Provides a convenient string representation
	// of the current state of the set.
	String() string

	// Returns a new set with all elements which are
	// in either this set or the other set but not in both.

	// Note that the argument to SymmetricDifference
	// must be of the same type as the receiver
	// of the method. Otherwise, SymmetricDifference
	// will panic.
	SymmetricDifference(other Set) Set

	// Returns a new set with all elements in both sets.

	// same type as the receiver of the method.
	// Otherwise, IsSuperset will panic.
