isect()

Read(3163) Label: sequence, intersection,

Description:

Compute intersection of all sequence-type members in a sequence.

Syntax:

A.isect(x)

Note:

Members of sequence A are also sequences. The function gets intersection of members of sequence A and returns a sequence composed of all common members of the sub-sequences.

 

When parameter x is present, compute the expression with members of sequence A and then finds the intersection.

Parameter:

A

A sequence whose members are also sequences

x

An expression that returns a sequence

Return value:

A sequence

Example:

When A is a sequence:

 

A

 

1

=[[1,2,3,4,5],[3,7,8]].isect()

[3]; all sub-sequences contain member 3.

2

=[[1,2,3],[3,2]].isect()

[2,3]; all sub-sequences contain 2 and 3.

3

=[[1,2,2,3],[2]].isect()

[2]; all sub-sequences contain member 2.

 

When A is a table sequence or a record sequence:

 

A

 

1

=demo.query("select * from STUDENTS where ID>3")

2

=demo.query("select * from STUDENTS1")

3

=[A1,A2].isect(~.(NAME))

Return Lauren.
