public class difference
extends DefaultInternalAction

Internal action: .difference(S1,S2,S3).

Description: S3 is the difference between the sets S1 and S2 (represented by lists). The result set is sorted.

Parameters:

• + arg[0] (a list).
  
• + arg[1] (a list).
  
• +/- arg[2]: the difference.

Examples:

• .difference("[a,b,c]","[b,e]",X): X unifies with "[a,c]".
• .difference("[a,b,a,c]","[f,e,a,c]",X): X unifies with "[b]".

Description copied from interface: InternalAction

Executes the internal action. It should return a Boolean or an Iterator. A true boolean return means that the IA was successfully executed. An Iterator result means that there is more than one answer for this IA (e.g. see member internal action).

Specified by:

execute in interface InternalAction

Overrides:

execute in class DefaultInternalAction

Throws:

Exception
