The “setdiff” Function in R

  • Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)

  • Purpose: To find the set difference of two sets (vectors).

  • General Class: Set Operations

  • Required Argument(s):

    • x: The first vector.

    • y: The second vector.

  • Notable Optional Arguments:

    • None

  • Example:

  • # Example usage
    set1 <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    set2 <- c(3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

    # Find the set difference
    set_difference <- setdiff(set1, set2)

    print(set_difference)

  • In this example, setdiff is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to find the set difference between two vectors (set1 and set2). The result is a vector containing the elements that are present in set1 but not in set2. The x and y arguments are required and represent the two sets for which the set difference is calculated. There are no notable optional arguments for this function.
