`` `trait` Set[A]

  This class represents mutable sets. Concrete set implementations just have to provide functionality for the abstract methods in `scala.collection.Set` as well as for `+=`, `-= and `clear`.`

Method Details

`` `def` update(elem : A, included : Boolean) : Unit

  This method allows one to add or remove an element `elem` from this set depending on the value of parameter `included`. Typically, one would use the following syntax:

      set(elem) = true

`abstract` `def` +=(elem : A) : Unit

  Add a new element to the set.

Parameters
  `elem -` the element to be added

`` `def` +=(elem1 : A, elem2 : A, elems : A*) : Unit

  Add two or more elements to this set.

Parameters
  `elem1 -` the first element.
  `kv2 -` the second element.
  `kvs -` the remaining elements.

`` `def` ++=(elems : Iterable[A]) : Unit

  Add all the elements provided by an iterator of the iterable object `that` to the set.

Parameters
  `elems -` the iterable object containing the elements to be added

`` `def` ++=(elems : Iterator[A]) : Unit

  Add all the elements provided by an iterator `elems` to the set.

Parameters
  `elems -` the iterator containing the elements to be added

`` `def` +(elem : A) : Set[A]

  Add a new element to the set.

Returns
  the set itself with the element added.
Parameters
  `elem -` the element to be added

`` `def` +(elem1 : A, elem2 : A, elems : A*) : Set[A]

  Add two or more elements to this set.

Parameters
  `elem1 -` the first element.
  `kv2 -` the second element.
  `kvs -` the remaining elements.
Returns
  the set itself with the elements added.

`` `def` ++(elems : Iterable[A]) : Set[A]

  Add all the elements provided by an iterator of the iterable object `elems` to the set.

Parameters
  `elems -` the iterable object containing the elements to be added
Returns
  the set itself with the elements added.

`` `def` ++(elems : Iterator[A]) : Set[A]

  Add all the elements provided by an iterator `elems` to the set.

Parameters
  `elems -` the iterator containing the elements to be added

@deprecated
`` `def` incl(elems : A*) : Unit

  `incl` can be used to add many elements to the set at the same time.

Deprecated
  use `++=` instead
