Integer Set Search Functions (aime)

All functions retrieving data link it if allowed, copy it otherwise.

integer m_first(mint m, integer &k);

is zero if the m integer set is empty, non zero otherwise. In the latter case k is set to the first value in m.

integer m_high(mint m);

is the last value in m

integer m_last(mint m, integer &k);

is zero if the m integer set is empty, non zero otherwise. In the latter case k is set to the last value in m.

integer m_low(mint m);

is the first value in m

integer msk_greater(mint m, integer a, integer &k);

is zero if the m integer set has no value greater than a, non zero otherwise. In the latter case k is set to the first value greater than a.

integer msk_less(mint m, integer a, integer &k);

is zero if the m integer set has no value less than a, non zero otherwise. In the latter case k is set to the last value less than a.

integer msk_lower(mint m, integer a, integer &k);

is zero if the m integer set has no value less or equal to a, non zero otherwise. In the latter case k is set to the last value not greater than a.

integer msk_upper(mint m, integer a, integer &k);

is zero if the m integer set has no value greater or equal to a, non zero otherwise. In the latter case k is set to the first value not less than a.
