Operator Reference
tuple_union (Operator)
tuple_union
— Compute the union set of two input tuples.
Signature
Description
tuple_union
returns the union set from
Set1
and Set2
in Union
. For example,
if Set1
contains the values [0,1,3,3,5] and Set2
contains the values [3,4], the output Union
is [0,1,3,4,5].
The operator also allows mixed types of elements in the input tuples.
However, the elements with different types will be considered as
different elements, i.e. 1.0 and 1 are different. For example,
the union of [2,5,3] and [4.0,5.0] is [2,3,5,4.0,5.0]. Please note
that the order of tuple elements resulting from tuple_union
does not necessarily conform to the order in the input tuple.
Exception: Empty input tuples
If both of the input tuples are empty, the operator returns an empty tuple. If one of the input tuples is empty and the other is not, the output corresponds to the input tuple that is not empty.
HDevelop In-line Operation
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_union
,
which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Union := union(Set1, Set2)
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: independent (runs in parallel even with exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on internal data level.
Parameters
Set1
(input_control) tuple(-array) →
(integer / real / string / handle)
Input tuple.
Set2
(input_control) tuple(-array) →
(integer / real / string / handle)
Input tuple.
Union
(output_control) tuple(-array) →
(integer / real / string / handle)
The union set of two input tuples.
Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator
tuple_union
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
.
