; We specified that a set would be represented as a list with no duplicates. Now ; suppose we allow duplicates. For instance, the set {1, 2, 3} could be represented ; as the list (2 3 2 1 3 2 2). Design procedures element-of-set?, adjoin-set, ; union-set, and intersection-set that operate on this representation. How does ; the efficiency of each compare with the corresponding procedure for the ; non-duplicate representation? Are there applications for which you would use ; this representation in preference to the non-duplicate one? ; Unchanged (define (element-of-set? x set) (cond ((null? set) false) ((equal? x (car set)) #t) (else (element-of-set? x (cdr set))))) (define (adjoin-set x set) (cons x set)) (define (union-set set1 set2) (append set1 set2)) (define (intersection-set set1 set2) (cond ((or (null? set1) (null? set2)) '()) ((element-of-set? (car set1) set2) (cons (car set1) (intersection-set (cdr set1) set2))) (else (intersection-set (cdr set1) set2)))) (intersection-set (list 1 1 3 3 4 5) (list 3 3 5)) ; (3 3 5) (union-set (list 1 2 2 3) (list 3 4 7)) ; (1 2 2 3 3 4 7) ; Note: For intersection, i quite didn't get the question, hence assuming the method ; remains the same as previous ; Both `adjoin-set` and `union-set` have O(1) running time
