Set Operations Program
Overview This C++ program allows users to perform a variety of set operations on user-defined sets. The program accepts multiple sets and a universal set as input, then computes and displays:
- Intersection of the sets
- Union of the sets
- Set Difference for each set relative to the intersection
- Set Complement for each set relative to the universal set
The program uses dynamic memory allocation, vectors, and object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, constructors, destructors, and functions.
Features Input a universal set and multiple named sets. Calculate and display:
- Intersection of all sets.
- Union of all sets.
- Difference between each set and the intersection.
- Complement of each set relative to the universal set.
- Dynamic memory management for flexibility.
- Clean and organized output formatting.
Technologies C++ Standard Template Library (STL) - vector, string Dynamic memory (new and delete)
How It Works:
-
User inputs the number of elements in the universal set and its elements.
-
User defines how many sets they want to create and provides names and elements for each set.
-
Program processes and displays:
- All sets and the universal set.
- Their intersection.
- Their union.
- The set difference for each set.
- The set complement for each set.
Project Structure Set.h and Set.cpp: Contains the Set class, which handles all set operations.
setOperations.cpp (main.cpp):
Handles user input and controls the flow of the program.
Example
How to Run Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/your-username/SetOperations.git Open the project in your C++ IDE (such as Visual Studio Code).
Compile and run:
g++ main.cpp -o SetOperations ./SetOperations Notes Ensure you properly deallocate any dynamically allocated memory to avoid memory leaks (handled in the destructor).
Input validation (e.g., preventing duplicates) can be improved in future versions.
