PHP Ds\Set Functions Complete Reference

Set is the collection of unique values. The implementation of Ds\Set is similar to the Ds\Map which creates a hash table. The values of Ds\Set are used as key and the mapped values are ignored.

Requirements: PHP 7 is required for both extension and the compatibility polyfill. 

Installation: The easiest way to install data structure by using the PECL extension.

pecl install ds

Syntax:

public Ds\Set::functionName()

Example: Below programs illustrate the Ds\Set::count() function:

PHP

<?php

// Declare new Set
$set = new \Ds\Set([10, 15, 21]);

// Display the Set element
var_dump($set);

// Display count of elements
// present in the Set
echo "Count is : ";
print_r($set->count());

?>

Output:

object(Ds\Set)#1 (3) {
  [0]=>
  int(10)
  [1]=>
  int(15)
  [2]=>
  int(21)
}
Count is : 3
