Exclude

Exclude element from a set if it is present.

Declaration

Source position: system.fpd line 44

  procedure Exclude(var S: TSetType; E: TSetElement);

Description

Exclude removes E from the set S if it is included in the set. E should be of the same type as the base type of the set S.

Thus, the two following statements do the same thing:

S:=S-[E];
Exclude(S,E);

Errors

If the type of the element E is not equal to the base type of the set S, the compiler will generate an error.
