<bk_> does a union on two sets do what i think it does
<Smerdyakov> Answering that would require stepping inside your head.
<bk_> set1 union set2 = netset (unified set1+set2)
<bk_> erm newset
<bk_> also your suggestion to eliminate the imperative features i used was right, i should do that
<Smerdyakov> The OCaml Set union has the same semantics as the usual mathematical set union operation.

<bk_> well :] if i was aware of what the usual mathmatical union operation exactly does, i probably wouldn't have asked, would i
<Smerdyakov> OK. Sorry, most people who use OCaml are aware of that.
<bk_> but since there's intersection, difference, compare etc. union probably does just that: create the union of two sets
<Smerdyakov> The union of sets A and B is defined to be the set consisting only of elements found in either A or B (or both).
<Smerdyakov> I'm confused.
<bk_> yes, thanks
<bk_> nm i'm confused, too
<Smerdyakov> You just used "create the union of two sets" like you know what that means, but you say you didn't know the usual mathematical definition of set union?

<bk_> i suck at math
<bk_> and i'm not very familiar w/ math terminology
<Smerdyakov> Nonetheless, it seems you just used a word whose meaning you say you don't know, which is confusing to me.
<bk_> i used it because i thought i know what it would do, i just wanted to make sure
<Smerdyakov> Okeydokey.
