NAME

6       Set::newHashSet - Create a new empty HashSet.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       HashSet<a> newHashSet( Int buckets=157, Int(a) hashfn=hash )
10

ARGUMENTS

12       buckets  The number of hashing buckets to use. A larger number of buck‐
13       ets increases the speed of the dictionary (up to a limit) but uses more
14       memory. A good choice is the nearest prime number to 1.5*(expected num‐
15       ber of entries) , with the default being 157.
16
17       hashfn The hashing function to use. This function must take a key,  and
18       return an integer. A good hashing function will return different values
19       for similar keys (but must of course always return the same  value  for
20       the same key!). A default built-in hashing function is provided, though
21       if the keys are of type String , the Builtins.strHash (3kaya)  function
22       should  be  used  instead,  and if the keys are of type Int you may use
23       Builtins.identity (3kaya) (though an array may provide faster insertion
24       and lookup if the keys are positive and either small or largely sequen‐
25       tial). If the keys are an especially complex data type, it may again be
26       best  to  write your own hashing function. This argument may be omitted
27       and defaults to Builtins.hash (3kaya)
