Overview

This section of the manual describes the interfaces for different set types. Every set that fits the description of an interface should also implement it. This helps in several ways:

  • avoid code duplicates,
  • provide functions for many sets at once,
  • allow changes in the source code without changing the API.

The interface functions are outlined in the interface documentation. For implementations of the interfaces see the corresponding sub-pages linked in the respective sections.

Note

The naming convention is such that all interface names (with the exception of the main abstract type LazySet) should be preceded by Abstract.

The following diagram shows the interface hierarchy.
