What i want to do: I have two sets. (I didn't find how to do
sets, so i have two associative boolean arrays
`bool[<something>]`). And i want to join them, via an
intersection.
I know how to code this. Loop over one AA, if the key is also
in the other one, we add that to the third array which is going
to be returned.
pseudocode:
alias set = bool[<something>]
set foo = ...
set bar = ...
set result;
foreach(key; foo)
{
if (key in bar)
{
result[key] = true;
}
}
return result;
1) Is there a better way for creating a set, other then `alias
set = bool[keyClass]`?
2) Are there some build-in function for handling such sets?
Never tried, but depending of the nature of your "something" you
can try bit sets. There are efficient algorithms for large bit
arrays (see "roaring" for example).
