PREDICATE: insert/3:

Usage: insert(Set1, Element, Set2)

• Description: It is true when Set2 is Set1 with Element inserted in it, preserving the order.

PREDICATE: ord_delete/3:

Usage: ord_delete(Set0, X, Set)

• Description: It succeeds if Set is Set0 without element X.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set0 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) X is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set is a free variable. (term_typing:var/1)

PREDICATE: ord_member/2:

Usage: ord_member(X, Set)

• Description: It succeeds if X is member of Set.
• The following properties should hold at call time: X is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1)

PREDICATE: ord_test_member/3:

Usage: ord_test_member(Set, X, Result)

PREDICATE: ord_subtract/3:

Usage: ord_subtract(Set1, Set2, Difference)

• Description: It is true when Difference contains all and only the elements of Set1 which are not also in Set2.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1)

PREDICATE: ord_intersection/3:

Usage: ord_intersection(Set1, Set2, Intersection)

• Description: It is true when Intersection is the ordered representation of Set1 and Set2, provided that Set1 and Set2 are ordered lists.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1)

PREDICATE: ord_intersection_diff/4:

Usage: ord_intersection_diff(Set1, Set2, Intersect, NotIntersect)

• Description: Intersect contains those elements which are both in Set1 and Set2, and NotIntersect those which are in Set1 but not in Set2.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Intersect is a free variable. (term_typing:var/1) NotIntersect is a free variable. (term_typing:var/1)

PREDICATE: ord_intersect/2:

Usage: ord_intersect(Xs, Ys)

• Description: Succeeds when the two ordered lists have at least one element in common.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Xs is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Ys is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1)

PREDICATE: ord_subset/2:

Usage: ord_subset(Xs, Ys)

• Description: Succeeds when every element of Xs appears in Ys.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Xs is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Ys is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1)

PREDICATE: ord_subset_diff/3:

Usage: ord_subset_diff(Set1, Set2, Difference)

• Description: It succeeds when every element of Set1 appears in Set2 and Difference has the elements of Set2 which are not in Set1.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Difference is a free variable. (term_typing:var/1)

PREDICATE: ord_union/3:

Usage: ord_union(Set1, Set2, Union)

• Description: It is true when Union is the union of Set1 and Set2. When some element occurs in both sets, Union retains only one copy.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1)

PREDICATE: ord_union_diff/4:

Usage: ord_union_diff(Set1, Set2, Union, Difference)

• Description: It succeeds when Union is the union of Set1 and Set2, and Difference is Set2 set-minus Set1.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Union is a free variable. (term_typing:var/1) Difference is a free variable. (term_typing:var/1)

PREDICATE: ord_union_symdiff/4:

Usage: ord_union_symdiff(Set1, Set2, Union, Diff)

• Description: It is true when Diff is the symmetric difference of Set1 and Set2, and Union is the union of Set1 and Set2.
• The following properties should hold at call time: Set1 is currently a term which is not a free variable. (term_typing:nonvar/1) Set2 is currently a term which is not a free variable.
