The setsubtract function returns a new set containing the elements from the first set that are not present in the second set. In other words, it computes the relative complement of the second set.

setsubtract(a, b)

Examples

> setsubtract(["a", "b", "c"], ["a", "c"])
toset([
  "b",
])

Set Difference (Symmetric Difference)

toset([
  "b",
  "d",
])
