Purpose

Remove an element from a set

Synopsis

 s less x

Description

Returns a copy of the set s with the element x removed (if it was present.)

s less x is roughly equivalent to s - {x}.
(Not exactly equivalent. In most implementations, if x is om then s - {x} is valid but s less x is not. In SETL-S the converse is true. See differences between SETL implementations.)

Examples

  1. {1, 2, 3} less 2
    

    Result: {1, 3}

  2. {1, 2, 3} less 4
    

    Result: {1, 2, 3}
