Syntax

setComplement(a,b)

a: array any - input set

b: array any - input set

return: array 1D any - array that includes all elements that are part of A but not part of B

Usage

Example

setComplement( [2   3  4  3  5  5  3  1] ,  [6  3  4  7  1] ) returns [2  5]

Notes

setComplement is equivalent to a subtraction of two sets, as in the area of a Venn diagram that is part of set A but not part of set B.
